Executive Producer, The Daily Buzz

Reina was born and raised in Mansfield, Ohio (home to the prison made famous in ‘Shawshank Redemption.’) She attended the University of Toledo, where she double majored in Broadcasting and Public Relations. She started her television career while still in college, then went on to start the first ever morning show at the NBC affiliate in Toledo after graduation. She later revamped, relaunched, and served as the Senior Producer for the morning show at Boston’s WB56. She then moved into national television, creating, launching, and serving as the Senior Executive Producer for the WB/CW’s flagship morning news magazine, ‘The Daily Buzz’ for nearly 15 years. She also created and supervised its sister shows, ‘Emotional Mojo’ and ‘Heart & Soul.’ After the initial run of ‘The Daily Buzz,’ she relaunched it for KEF Media in 2017. Reina is an animal lover and advocate, who feeds, rescues, and rehomes stray and feral cats in her spare time. She misses her fur babies Puffy and Dawson, but loves spending time with her stray-turned-permanent kitty, Tigger, and Baby Bennett (who just loves having his picture taken : ) She is a trained dancer, loves The Beatles, boy bands, and Britney, and always roots for her Cleveland sports teams, despite the constant heartbreak.
