Rienera attended the University of Iowa in her hometown of Iowa City as an undergrad, but opted for the McGill University Faculty of Medicine in Montreal, Canada for medical school. Her desire to pursue family medicine solidified after her core family medicine rotation, which she completed in the tundra of Northern Quebec. She worked with a handful of family physicians that provide medical care to the local community of Puvirnituq and eight other villages along the coast of Hudson Bay accessible only by air. During her fourth year of medical school, Rienera spent a month in Kumasi, Ghana, on an OB/GYN clerkship elective. Rienera brings to Madison her husband, a doctor of horticulture science who will undoubtedly enjoy the beautiful rural Baraboo landscape. While in medical school, Rienera founded Mittens for Medicine, a group who knitted mittens for immigrants in the community.
