Sierra B-

Born and raised in Southwest Florida, Sierra found an escape in the theatre. Watching her mother struggle to make ends meet just for her, showed Sierra that nothing is impossible with the drive of love. Nothing drives Sierra more than that feeling she has on a stage. This love is something she is determined to pursue so that one day she can take care of her mother, and prove to her that all of her hard work wasn't unnoticed.  Sierra studies BFA Musical Theatre at Florida Southern College, and has taken so much away from the learning process. Not only by taking classes with the most respected of professors, but being involved in Main Stage shows such as Musical Comedy Murders of the 1940's, A Midsummer Nights Dream, and The Rimers of Eldritch. Florida Southern College has an open student initiative program that Sierra quickly used to her advantage by piecing together and performing a one woman show to the student body.  One of Sierra's greatest accomplishments through Florida Southern has been the opportunity to travel abroad to Oslo, Norway, and perform in Musical Theatre Education Alliance's (MTEA) first ever international showcase. Endless opportunities have come Sierra's way, and none of them have been taken for granted. Sierra is determined, passionate and open minded because she knows that with hard work, nothing is impossible.
