Daisha Riley Wiki – Daisha Riley Biography

Daisha Riley, an award-winning journalist, and producer on Good Morning America. Riley obtained her bachelor’s in journalism at Purchase College, State University of New York, in 2006. She then briefly worked at MTV as a tape coordinator before beginning her career at ABC Good Morning America in 2007, according to her LinkedIn. Riley began her work for GMA as a production associate before becoming an associate producer and then a producer in 2014.

During GMA’s tribute to Riley, Michael Strahan said she was a “young and talented producer.” He said Riley “rose through the ranks over the years on our show working on stories that have made so many of you, our viewers, smile and tear up. Her legacy lives on in the powerful voice she shared through storytelling.”

The tribute goes on to say that even though viewers may not know Riley by name, her work as a storyteller was a key part of GMA for the past 14 years. Riley “was not the loudest voice in the room, but she was always the smartest. Funny and brilliant and above all, kind, quick with a smile and a kitten meme just when you needed it most.” Strahan said that it’s difficult for them to come to terms with her sudden passing and said the team’s thoughts are with Riley’s family and her fiance.

Earlier this year, on April 12, 2020, another GMA producer, Thea Trachtenberg, died at the age of 51 after a 20-year career with GMA. At the time, Riley said, “Thea set the bar when it came to producing. … I learned how to write for [Good Morning America] watching Thea … and when my boss asked me where I want to see my career I would say … I want to be Thea.”
