About Me

Thank you for visiting my site! My name is Christina Riley, and I am Tlingit & Haida enrolled Tribal Member, born in Juneau Alaska. In the early 2000's I joined the Northwest Laborers Apprenticeship program, and became a journeyman Laborer. I was able to work on projects that gave me skills all across the construction industry, from small road & building projects, to large infrastructure projects. My journey within the Laborers Union did not end there. I spent several years in Training & Apprenticeship, as well as the Tribal Liaison at a Regional Leadership Level. I am passionate about training, diversity, and relationships. Outside of work, I am a devoted mom and wife. My family love sports, hunting, and working our small rural farm. 

I have worked with Public Schools, Tribal Nations, State Agencies, Organized Laborer, Registered Apprenticeship Programs and Companies to build partnerships between entities.  I have experienced a wide range of challenges and have the ability to work through tough issues.
