About Me
Thank you for visiting my site! My name is Christina Riley, and I am a Tlingit & Haida enrolled Tribal Member, born in Juneau, Alaska. In the early 2000s, I joined the Northwest Laborers Apprenticeship program and became a journeyman laborer. I worked on projects that gave me skills 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 consulting services allow me to work with Public Schools, Tribal Nations, State Agencies, Organized Labor, Registered Apprenticeship Programs, and individual Companies to build partnerships between entities. I have experienced a wide range of challenges and am able to work through tough issues.
