Monique Riley of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia was raised in the Shire of Noosa, Queensland, Australia. An advocate for self-defense, she has a passion for boxing and all things exercise and sport.
On September 9, 2022, Riley was crowned Miss Universe Australia 2022 at the Warner Bros. Movie World in Gold Coast, Queensland. Annalise Dalins of Melbourne, Ciara Grehan of Gold Coast, Hanni Rose Howe of Adelaide and Alana Deutsher-Moore of Gold Coast were the respective first, second, third and fourth runners-up.
