Riley is passionate about writing stories in the news and politics and sports sections of The Prowl. She enjoys hanging out with friends, which explains why her favorite aspect of journalism is interviewing and communicating with potential subjects. Despite her interest in becoming an occupational therapist, she believed that she will be a great staff member for The Bobcat Prowl this year.
