Riana was 19-years-old when participated in Miss Binibinig Philippinas 2016 and was placed at Top 15. Her aim while applying for the Binibining Philippinas 2016 was to gain experience to come and strive again which she achieved by representing Pasig in the upcoming competition. Her aspiration to make a comeback in pageantry before being an educator will be fulfilled as she is about to vie for the crown of Miss Universe Philippines 2020.

She expressed as to why she wants to be a teacher and win the crown at the same time. “I would like to focus on the importance of mentorship to the next generation.” Riana wants to shape the future of the students in every possible way which is why she wants a platform like Miss Universe Philippines 2020 and the profession as that of a teacher so that she can spread and scale up the knowledge and guide students everywhere.
