Reina bases many of her characters, settings, situations or personalities off of those she has met over the years, places she has been, and dreams she has had. On any given Sunday, you will find Reina sitting in church with her family. She enjoys travel and has been across the United States, spent time in Mexico, the United Kingdom, Argentina, and is a huge supporter of Rape Advocacy programs as well as Black Lives Matter. Her hobbies include reading, singing with Hat Pineapple Collective and her band RALA, drawing and spending time with friends and loved ones. She graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Speech and Hearing Science in December 2017, and plans to go to grad school to become a Bilingual Speech Language Pathologist. She is currently planning to release a new book in 2018.
