Riley Sommers, La DePaulia Contributing Writer

Hello, I’m Riley! I'm a journalism graduate student at DePaul. I attended the University of Texas at Austin for undergrad where I earned my BA in English and Anthropology. This year I moved to Chicago from Austin to pursue a new career after spending the last few years working as a horse trainer. I am passionate about human-interest stories and also love hiking with my dog and taking photos!
