Biography

Skye is an alumnus of San Diego State University and working toward her degree in women's studies with a minor in human sexuality. After graduating from college and when her adult career is over, she plans on going to graduate school to become a marriage counselor and sex therapist.

She has been married and divorced and credits a visit to a strip club with her ex-husband as the inspiration for entering the adult industry, starting out first as a nude model and a stripper. Skye stated in an interview that about two years into her career she revealed to her mother and step-father about working in the adult industry and that it was received in a positive manner.

Skye volunteers by participating in food sorting for AIDS Project LA, a meal food service at the Union Rescue Mission.

In 2009 Skye was diagnosed with throat cancer that required surgery which prompted her first break from working in the industry. She was also going through a divorce and returned to the industry in 2011. Starting in 2012, Ryder took another break from the adult industry that lasted roughly a year and a half. During that absence, she also had breast augmentation surgery to increase her bust to a size of 32DDD/F.
