Rinner lives at Ottmarsheim in Alsace in France.

She discovered three comets using a 0.5 metre robotic telescope located in Morocco. She won the 2013 Edgar Wilson Award for discovering three comets which were designated P/2011 W2 Rinner,[3] C/2012 CH17, and P/2013 CE31M.[4] There were seven awards that year and they shared $42,000 between them.[5]
