Hi, I'm Siena.

I am a high school musical theatre student, singer, actor, and dancer from Miami, Florida.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyscalculia in elementary school. Like many students with learning differences, I often had to work harder to complete assignments, process written information, and develop study strategies that worked for me.

At the same time, I discovered a love for performing. Theatre became a place where I could express myself, build confidence, and connect with others.

Over the years, I learned that dyslexia does not prevent success in the performing arts. It simply means finding different ways to learn, memorize, organize, and prepare.

Dyslexia on Stage was created to share those strategies with other students and to help young performers understand that learning differently should never stop them from pursuing their goals.

My hope is that this project helps students feel supported, understood, and confident in their own abilities.
