She currently resides in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, with her husband, Chris, their son, and their two adorable dogs.

Sirena earned her Bachelor’s degree from The Pennsylvania State University in 2017 and graduated from William & Mary Law School in 2021.

In 2021, Sirena was selected to serve on active duty as a Judge Advocate in the United States Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG Corps). Her first assignment was as a Trial Counsel (prosecutor) at Fort Benning, Georgia, where she quickly developed a passion for litigation. She later served as a Special Victims Trial Counsel, prosecuting special victim offenses across the installation.

Following her assignment at Fort Benning, Sirena served as a Special Trial Counsel at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, where she prosecuted a wide range of serious offenses, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, and homicide cases. Through these roles, she gained extensive courtroom experience and developed a reputation for thoughtful advocacy, meticulous preparation, and unwavering dedication to those she served. She continues her military service as a Trial Defense Counsel in the United States Army Reserve.

Sirena is admitted to practice law in Alabama (2021), the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (2025), North Carolina (2026), and Washington, D.C. (2026).

Her passion for family law stems from a desire to help individuals and families through some of the most difficult transitions of their lives. She believes effective family law representation requires both compassionate guidance and strategic advocacy. Sirena is committed to providing clients with thoughtful counsel, practical solutions, and zealous representation while helping them move forward with confidence.

Outside of her legal practice, Sirena enjoys spending time with her family, lifting with her husband in their garage gym, and cheering on her favorite Philadelphia sports teams—especially the Phillies. In the fall, she can usually be found spending Saturdays rooting for Penn State football.
