About
Behind the Lens
Hello! I'm Reiley Rice, a twenty-three year old psychology graduate, photographer, director, fitness coach, and cat dad. Originally from Richmond, VA, I completed my undergraduate in Charlottesville, VA at the University of Virginia before finally ending up in Irvine, CA.
In addition to pursuing media, I have also been a personal trainer for over three years and working in gyms for even longer while training for and competing in olympic weightlifting alongside. At my previous job as a coach, assistant gym manager, and social media manager at The Gym in Charlottesville, VA, I was able to blend my passion for creative design with fitness to run their social medias and create online engagement as well as increased foot traffic for the brand.
Alongside media and fitness, I also have a deep passion for fashion and design. When I'm not exploring these subjects, you can typically find me at home with my cat, Yves, and girlfriend, Sydnee, either spinning records or practicing yoga.
