About Riley
I’m originally from Florida, got my undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia in Psychology, and moved to Colorado in 2015. I worked in a residential treatment facility for teenage girls and moms for 3 years, and went back to school to get my Masters in Social Work from the University of Denver at this time. My internships were in schools during my 2 year program, and I knew I wanted to stay in schools for my career. I got the job at East Grand in 2018, and have been here since!
On weekends and during the summer, I am outdoors as much as possible. I ski, go on walks with the dogs, hike and camp, and get on the river! I also work a lot at my second job, a little antique shop in Grand Lake called Humphrey’s, which is so fun!
I love being in the county, and am excited for the opportunity to help out in any way I can.
I have worked in collaboration with MFC for 5 years now, and I appreciate the organization’s mission and dedication to the families that they serve.
Working in a small school system has afforded me many opportunities to meet and collaborate with different people. I have gained a new insight into this community and the needs of the majority. Through my education, I have also gained skills in active listening, being non-judgmental, and meeting people where they are, and receiving feedback openly.
