Sienna first started her undergraduate years at Brown University in 2012 and has been editing ever since. There, she edited several literary magazines and one travel magazine on campus. After moving to Korea to teach English, she maintained her skills by working for Nyobio Studio, a company that publishes serialized novels translated from either Mandarin or Korean.

Now Sienna works for a book publisher where she makes test-prep questions four days a week in addition to being a freelance editor and beta reader. She loves to read realistic fiction, but has a soft spot for magical realism and fantasy.
