Sierra is a Environmental Studies major (latin American studies minor) student at UC Santa Barbara who wants to help third world countries substitute the environmentally degrading processes, often associated with country development, with sustainable alternatives that boost economy, Gross National Happiness (GNH) and protect natural places that provide eco system services and joy to all. The goal of Sierra's work is to provide the public with the knowledge and information they need to take action against social/environment injustice, global inequality and over consumption. Sierra gets her greatest joy from the ocean. As an avid surfer born in Morro Bay, California is motivated to combat climate change by her hopes that future generations will get to experience the ocean.
