Rania Mankarious received a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Doctorate of Jurisprudence from the University of Houston Law Center. A Boston native who relocated to Houston in 2006, Rania Mankarious was chosen to head Houston’s leading public safety non-profit organization, Crime Stoppers, in March of 2013. She was named the organization's first CEO in 2018.

Mankarious’ ongoing legacy Crime Stoppers includes the first-ever Crime Stoppers Safe School Institute - a full suite direct service crime prevention program for students, teachers, administrators, counselors, school-based law-enforcement and parents. Mankarious has also helped to establish Crime Stoppers’ first webinar series with local, statewide and national experts in addition to creating Parents Against Crime and the critically important Fallen Hero Program and expanding the organization’s Safe Community Program.

In 2021, Mankarious authored her first book with a plan designed to keep kids safe anywhere they go online. In her new book, The Online World: What You Think You Know and What You Don't, Mankarious pulls back the curtain to the online world and helps parents take all the intangible gray space that can seem so overwhelming, and turn it into defined territories with boundaries to protect our tweens and teens. We encourage parents to buy the book and attend our in-person parent ed with Rania Mankarious.
