Sierra joined VCE in November 2021, to develop and implement programs, maintain stakeholder relations, open avenues for community engagement, and utilize analytical methodologies to inform and educate.
Prior to joining VCE, Sierra spent nearly two years working in Community Choice agencies, where she assisted in the development of two CCA pilot programs, a local government solar program and a virtual power plant program. Her analytical experience stems from her work creating greenhouse gas reduction measures for Humboldt County’s Climate Action Plan and establishing long term planning goals for Redwood Coast Energy Authority’s Repower+. Much of Sierra’s work has focused on energy prices/rates, electric vehicle adoption, rooftop solar installations, and gas appliance retrofits. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology from Humboldt State University and is certified as a LEED Green Associate.
