She was hoping to move to London to be with family as well as to grow her professional and social networks.
Sienna was one of 27 finalists of the Australian Miss Universe in 2022.
In an interview with Gold Coast Magazine, Sienna previously discussed her love for horse riding.
"My family aren’t quite sure where this passion came from, but I’ve been horseriding since I was 3 years old and can’t imagine my life without it," she said.
"I travel to rural Sydney 2-3 times a week to train and compete around New South Wales or broader Australia every other weekend."
