Katie Riley

Hey there.

I’m Katie Riley. Nice to meet you!

I’m a project manager/strategist/problem-solver/get-stuff-done kinda gal with a love of bringing people together and building community. I’m currently working as a Project Director at WRTHY, a social impact agency that uses creativity and data to take on complex human issues.

I consider myself an organizer at heart and have devoted much of my free time to fighting for progressive change in my community. I’ve worked to elect candidates at the city, state, and federal level, including launching @TeamAOC and managing campaign brand & digital media initiatives for Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez during the 2022 election cycle. Prior to that, I spent more than a decade deep in advocacy for gender equality as a founding employee at She's the First, an award-winning nonprofit organization fighting to make sure girls are educated, respected, and heard.

Food is my love language, and in summer 2020, I led a group of my neighbors to create Astoria at Home, a digital cookbook featuring recipes from beloved restaurants in Astoria, Queens. To date, sales from the cookbook have raised more than $17,000 for the Astoria Mutual Aid Network.

I am a proud graduate of the University of Tennessee (Bachelor of Arts in Global Studies, concentration in Global Politics & Economics, minor in Political Science) and have previously served as a member of the national UT Young Alumni Council and Vice President of the UT Alumni NYC Chapter Board. 
 

Say hey.
