Riley Huntley

Change Agent, Explorer, Public servant, Student

As a third-year student enrolled in Royal Road's Bachelor of Justice Studies program, Riley is passionate about making a difference by advocating for others and ensuring everyone has a voice. Prior to attending Royal Roads, Riley graduated from the Justice Institute of British Columbia's Emergency Management program. As an avid volunteer for non-profits, Riley believes in giving back to the community through mentoring youth and future leaders. For dedicating his time to a local education-driven charity, Riley was recently awarded a Commonwealth Service Commendation and Medal for exceptional service as a technical expert in his field. Known as a community leader, his last project was supporting an underserved community through the opening and operation of a multimillion-dollar recreation facility. When the pandemic shut down his industry, Riley worked in an isolation ward as a paramedic testing and treating COVID-19 patients. As the pandemic slowed down, he shifted to working with a Mine Rescue Team to provide emergency medical response in underground tunnels and mines.

Always remember that you have the potential to make a lasting change. You can start by bringing your concerns forward and making recommendations to improve your student experience. Your perspective is unique, your experiences matter, and your voice has the power to make a difference.
