In 2022, Riley’s business went viral on social media, capturing the attention of automotive aftermarket nationwide. Since then, she’s been featured in top magazines and TV shows, including Stacy David’s Gearz, All Girls Garage, and many more. She sees herself as a youth ambassador in the automotive industry, driven by her passion for the field.
