Her experience and knowledge in both the academic concepts of media communications and the creative world of lifestyle relations makes her a well-rounded asset in this specialized field.

As Account Coordinator, Sienna enjoys executing cross-platform public relations programs, developing real relationships with media, and coordinating multi-media marketing materials for video, radio, print, & social media purposes.

Sienna also worked with Los Angeles Times food writer Charles Perry and cookbook author Amelia Saltzman to developing the newsletter for the Culinary Historians of Southern California.

After graduating college, Sienna transformed her life-long love of food into an exciting career and enrolled in the Professional Chef Program at The New School of Cooking.  While in culinary school, she worked in some of L.A.’s top restaurants, including Fraiche and Tender Greens. After her certification, she moved on to events and began her own catering company, where she rapidly gained experience running high-end special events; she also began instructing at recreational cooking schools.
