Tell the Story
Benjamin Seeley

Siomara Marquetti
Board Secretary
Born and raised in Northeast Ohio, Siomara is also a graduate from Kent State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She has always been an advocate for the arts as she grew up playing multiple instruments, sung in the choir, performed on stage for school plays, and before graduating with a degree in Applied Communication Studies, she majored in Fashion Design for her first three years at Kent. Currently as an avid photographer and volunteer in her community and church (King's Church), she believes there is power in the arts and being of service to others, and is grateful to be a part of Tell the Story and be a witness to how art will inspire and transform the lives of others.
