Born and raised in Quincy, IL Sierra, after graduating from Roosevelt University's Chicago College of Performing Arts with her BFA in Musical Theatre, spent several years working regionally as an actor in the Chicagoland area. Credits include 42nd Street, Mamma Mia, Beauty and the Beast (Drury Lane Theatre), Legally Blonde (Paramount Theatre), Shrew'd, As You Like It (First Folio Theatre) Dames at Sea, and Pajama Game (Theatre at the Center). She then spent two years in New York working in production and film including the award winning web series Halfway To Fifty. Following that project, she spent a year furthering her studies in Los Angles. Now, back in New York, Sierra is an AEA actor, a freelance director, and a producer and event manager of film and high end events. With collaboration and community as her highest priorities, Sierra is passionate about curating and sharing stories that matter. Her goal as a creative in any capacity is to foster environments and plots that not only reflect the intricacies of the human experience within reality’s confines, but create work that challenges it.
