Destiny Riley

What is your background?

I began my career in hospitality whilst completing a degree in Tourism, Events and Hospitality Management. During this time, I discovered a passion for events and creative marketing, taking on roles that involved content creation, community engagement and event coordination for restaurants and hospitality businesses.

After graduation, I decided it was time for a new challenge. Keen to see more of the world, I left my permanent role and began working as a marketing and events consultant, supporting a range of businesses such as tlc Estate Agents while continuing to develop my skills and experience.

What values drive you?

Creativity, community and meaningful connection are at the heart of everything I do. I value thoughtful work, genuine relationships and creating experiences that people will hold on to for a lifetime. 

What are your objectives for tlc over the next 12 months?

Over the next 12 months, my goal is to strengthen tlc’s digital presence, deepen engagement with the local community and continue delivering creative, memorable local living events that reflect the tlc brand. I also want to build on what is already working, introduce fresh ideas and create marketing that supports the wider growth of the business.

What do you enjoy doing outside of the office?

Outside of the office, I love travelling, discovering new places and experiencing different cultures. Cooking is also a real passion of mine, particularly trying new recipes and bringing people together over good food.

What is your favourite song?

It probably changes every week, but “Don’t Take the Girl” by Tim McGraw is the song I can remember loving since childhood.

What is one thing that might surprise people about you?

I love astrology, but I do not know my exact time of birth, so I may never know my full astrological chart.

If you could be any animal, what would you be?

I would be a crow, highly intelligent, famously remember faces and are known for collecting little treasures 

What are three things on your bucket list?

• Travel to 30 countries before I turn 30, I'm at 26 countries now!
• Sleep under the stars in the desert. 
• Coordinate a multi-national not for profit event.
