About Me

My entire life I've had a pretty clear vision of what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be. My desire to be a journalist was set in stone during my junior year of high school when I decided to combine my passions for writing and public speaking. With a focus on marginalized communities, I cover politics, education, faith, justice and their intersections.

​

I have over five years of experience with writing, copy editing, audience engagement, fact-checking, and podcast production. My work has been featured in Teen Vogue, The Washington Post and  New York Magazine among others. 

​

When I'm not reporting, you can find me hosting my podcast Sit Still With Sierra, whipping up a new dinner recipe, basking in the sun at the beach or blabbing about Stevie Wonder.
