Sierra Perez, MSSW is a proud first-gen college graduate, data and program evaluator, social worker, and three-time AmeriCorps alum. Her experience as a high school student who received support from an AmeriCorps member served as the catalyst for her 15+ year career in service with multiple central Texas nonprofits and AmeriCorps programs, including College Forward, Keep Austin Housed, Communities In Schools of Central Texas, and now Breakthrough Central Texas.

When not knee-deep in data, you can find Sierra spending time with her partner and their two dogs, knitting, playing bass, or training dogs at the local animal shelter.
