Get Updated on What's Going on with Rina!


I came to the USA in January 1992 at the beginning of the gulf war to do what I love against my family’s wishes. It has been an interesting and challenging journey with experiences that I can apply to my craft. From the everyday life of an actor trying to make it in the big apple, to the stresses of a corporate executive combined with the delights of being a suburban mom going through all the phases of motherhood, little leagues, soccer games, and sweet sixteen parties, and finally a helicopter mom to a son in college. I wouldn’t change anything.
Although I am from a warm country, I have learned to enjoy the cold weather and specially the snow through skiing. This way my life is happy even during the winter blues.
I like challenges and as an actress I enjoy experiencing someone else’s life to understand better the human race.
