She is currently in the undergraduate journalism program at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly known as Ryerson University), where she enjoys creating multimedia content, writing for news and sports, and recording for Frugal Radio whether that be for social media content or full episodes. She is passionate about learning about individual backgrounds, and people’s personal stories whilst learning about new perspectives.

Over the last six to seven years, leadership has been a big part of her journey. Ria actively finds new ways to stay informed and involved in society. She is a passionate leader and team player: analytical and creative in her approach. Throughout high school and now in university, her love for being in student groups, being a part of a team at large, and being a part of a bigger cause has motivated her in all aspects of life. She was formerly the Co-President of the Journalism Course Union and is currently the President of The Society of The Creative School at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Throughout her life, working with cameras, taking pictures, and recording mini-vlogs as a little girl were always some of her favorite things to do. Now, she enjoys working as a Content Creator under the Student Communications department at TMU (@StudentLifeTMU & @ChooseTMU), planning videos, filming and working in post-production, whether that be creating news packages, podcast episodes or social media and marketing content.
