Author Bio: 

Kristina Rienzi is a Jersey Shore-based new adult thriller author, certified professional coach, and the former president of Sisters in Crime-Central Jersey. An INFJ who dreams beyond big, Kristina encourages others (and herself) to embrace the unknown through her stories. When she's not writing or drinking wine, Kristina is spoiling her baby girl (and two fur babies), dissecting true crime stories, singing (and dancing) to Yacht Rock Radio, or rooting for the WVU Mountaineers. She believes in all things paranormal, a closet full of designer bags, weekly manicures, the Law of Attraction, aliens, angels, and the value of a graduate degree in psychology. 

Her debut audiobook, Among Us, was featured on Audible’s ACX University and is an Audible Editors Select pick.  Day Job Bio: Kristina Rienzi has been employed in a Human Resources leadership position for almost twenty years, and currently serves as the Senior Director of Human Resources and Publishing for a mid-sized telecom service organization.  

Kristina Rienzi earned Bachelor of Arts degrees in psychology and sociology/anthropology from West Virginia University; a Master of Arts degree in psychological counseling from Monmouth University; a Senior Professional Human Resources (SPHR) certification from the Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI); an SHRM-SCP certification from the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM); and the Certified Professional Coach (CPC) and Energy Leadership Index-Master Practitioner (ELI_MP) designations from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC). 

Always looking to grow and improve, Kristina is currently pursuing a certificate in The Science of Well Being from Yale University, a certification in Happiness Studies from the Happiness Studies Academy (derived from a Harvard University Professor in conjunction with iPEC), and a certificate in Brene Brown's Dare to Lead Program.
