==Biography==
Riely was born in Elk Grove, California, USA, but raised in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She was very involved in sports and school, being a part of a softball team for 9 years.
Just a month away from going to college, she heard over the radio that a modeling scout was coming to her town and she decided to go and see what could happen. After being picked up by a scout she went to New York, though none wanted her. As a last attempt she came to Los Angeles and almost all of the agencies handed her contracts. Though she first moved to LA to model, she ended up joining an acting class that her modeling agency recommended.http://www.ver-ge.com/riley-voelkel/
