Sierra, a native of Colorado, commenced her dance journey at the tender age of 4 under the expert guidance of Judy Eicheldinger at Montrose Dance Academy, where she dedicated four years to honing her craft. Her high school freshman and sophomore years unfolded at A Time to Dance studio, after which she transitioned to Dance Around, LLC studio under the mentorship of Kate Florian during her junior year. Sierra's pursuit of classical ballet training in the Cecchetti method lasted until 2013. Following her participation in Ballet Magnificat's Summer Dance Intensive in 2013, she made the move to Jackson, Mississippi, to continue her training at Ballet Magnificat School of the Arts in the Vaganova method under the tutelage of Kathy Thibodeaux. Sierra had the honor of gracing the stage in several productions during her time at Ballet Magnificat, including The Merchant and the Thief, The Most Incredible Christmas, and The Emperor and the Nightingale. Her formal ballet training concluded in 2015.

In 2019, Sierra relocated to North Carolina. Armed with skills refined in administration, retail, and customer service, Sierra decided to reenter the professional dance industry. She dedicated two seasons to serving the students and families at Infinity Ballet Conservatory as the Studio Office Receptionist and Manager. In 2023, Sierra joined the School of Carolina Ballet where she currently resides as the Administrative Associate of School Operations.
