Riley Smith

I am a part of the publications team at Ascent, mostly working on our document layout and review, but I have a background doing similar things in digital entertainment and technology, having worked at a variety of companies including a PR agency, a university, and a California startup. But I am more than that! I am a passionate advocate for environmental conservation and for treating our world and the animals around us with respect—and I am a strong supporter of a diverse, open-minded, and inclusive future. I am happy to bring my work to a place where my values and skills can intersect.

Beyond the work stuff, I am an avid downhill skier, a video game lover, a modern literature reader, sometimes a writer, and a big fan of rescuing pets. I currently have three rescue animals—two dogs and a cat—and they bring an incalculable amount of joy to my life. I strongly recommend everyone I know adopt a pet from a shelter (if you want and can care for one). Otherwise, I love life in California and try to make the best of having the coast and mountains (and more) at my disposal—but often find myself lounging at home with a cup of something delicious too.
