Hi, I’m Ciana! Raised in a small town (starting out on a farm, no less!), I couldn’t wait to trade wide-open spaces for big city lights. After two decades of urban living in some of the largest cities in the U.S., life brought me full circle. I’ve now settled back with my children in Montgomery County—a place that reminds me of my roots, with its charm, community, and growth. I love how our area is expanding, but I’m equally passionate about preserving that small-town feel that makes it special. I believe we can have the best of both worlds.

With a background in promoting small businesses and boutiques across the country, supporting local comes second nature to me. I’m always out in the community discovering new spots, meeting new people, and connecting the dots between businesses. Networking is my thing, and I’m constantly inspired by what small businesses can achieve when they support each other. That’s exactly why I created The MoCo List—to spotlight the amazing talent, creativity, and heart right here in our backyard.
