Get to Know Sienna

Hi! I’m Sienna. I…

  • am happiest when I’m outside--walking around my neighborhood, riding my bike, rock climbing… whatever takes me to sunshine and earth smells.

  • never thought I’d get married, but ended up tying the knot at 22. Maybe my best move yet.

  • went to six different schools before graduating high school.

  • lived in six states--from Washington to New York--before settling down in Colorado, USA in 2017.

  • am a night owl. Going to sleep before midnight often feels impossible. My brain starts buzzing around 10pm and I've just got to go with it!
