Sienna Golden Malik

Creative Content Marketer, Screenwriter, Essayist

United States

I am an Orlando-based writer with strong research and editing skills. Since finishing my MFA in nonfiction writing at the University of Central Florida, I have held full-time writing roles in the hospitality and non-profit spaces. In these roles, I've written everything from menu descriptions to entertaining blogs to white papers to longform magazine articles featuring resilient families around the world who have transformed their lives and communities.

I also am a screenwriter whose feature scripts "By the Dashboard Light" and "Mile Zero" have placed in the top 100 of international competitions. Screenwriting has given me an opportunity to strengthen my comedy skills and has taught me how to mirror natural speech in everything that I write.
