Wiles is a member of the HCLA Class of 2000 and served as dean of the Class of 2025. She currently serves as Vice President of Foundation and Community Affairs for Riverview Health, where she has worked since March 2015 raising funds to support programs and projects benefiting patients, families and staff.

Her public service also includes her role on the Noblesville Common Council. Wiles began her third term on the council in January 2024 and has served several times as both council president and vice president.

HCLA cited Wiles’ more than 25 years of work in the not-for-profit sector, through both paid and volunteer positions. She currently serves on the Conner Prairie Board of Directors and was a member of the Richard G. Lugar Excellence in Public Service Series Class of 2018-2019.
