As the oldest child of an international arms dealer, Siena grew up with a unique perspective. The good guys in her world were often criminals and the bad guys wore badges. Her best friends were the animals she rescued from the forest behind her house and the imaginary characters she created in her mind. She didn’t know these elements were the precursors to Story, nor that Story would become the greatest love of her life. She began writing in the format she was most familiar with, that is Novels. After many years of self-study and a Writing Certificate from Stanford University, she honed her craft and learned to trust her unique voice, but never completely embraced the form. Her stories were espisodic. When she stumbled on a Final Draft app, she began typing and never looked back. Her stories were perfect for serial television.   Her first screenplay, a 1-hr TV Western Pilot, Border Dogs-el Corrido de los Perros, was selected as an ISA Fast Track grand prize winner in 2019 and a Bluecat semi-finalist the same year. Her second, Higher Primates was a 2020 Emerging Screenwriters Finalist and gained her representation by Literary Manager, JD DeWitt at 5X5 Productions Inc. Siena writes smart, high-stakes drama on the verge of action narratives, set in richly imagined worlds, featuring unforgettable characters (including animals) where audiences long to spend their bingeing hours.
