An award-winning playwright and theatre actor, Rinaldi has collaborated as a writer and actor on countless theatre productions throughout Canada and is co-founder of the darkly comedic comedy troupe, Theatre Melee. She began performing at the age of six in National Film Board films and in local school productions. Fortunate enough to count Canadian filmmaker Anne Wheeler as a neighbour, Rinaldi had the opportunity to audition for a part in her film The War Between Us while still in high school. After booking the lead and spending two months on location in New Denver, B.C., Rinaldi knew she wanted to pursue a career as an actor and enrolled in the prestigious Theatre Training program Studio 58 in Vancouver and graduated with Honours. She was credited as Juno Ruddell up until 2013. She hasplayed the role of Frankie Coyne on Workin’ Moms since 2017.
