Hi, my name is Siena.
I’m a staff writer at Oregon Media, producing Bend Magazine and Bend Home + Design, among other publications. I am the managing editor for High Desert Weddings.
My professional background encompasses journalism, publishing, brand management, copy editing, and public relations. These experiences have fostered my exploration of culture and the communities defining it.
I have lived and worked in New York City, London, Italy, and now Bend, Oregon—adding cherished layers to my global perspective.
Let’s connect.
I wrote for the University of Oregon’s on-campus lifestyle magazine for three years, where I honed my aptitude for analyzing popular media and writing about it with insight and precision. In New York, my PR work taught me to tune in to the importance of following brand chatter and steering the conversation with actionable campaigns. As a lifestyle writer in London, I refined my ability to produce articles efficiently while implementing the voice and marketing needs of my publication. My current role at Oregon Media has improved my publication management and continues to refine my interview, writing, and editing style.
Seen In The City
While writing in London I became familiar with the PR/Journalist relationship and its foundational role in the publishing industry. Editorial assignments for the online publication, Seen in The City, took me to launch events, restaurant openings, and art shows. Check out my profile from my time in England below. Today, I continue freelance press trips with Seen In The City.
