Sierra Schwarz

I am an academic, athlete, and activist. Having been an athlete for 16 years, including one

season of Division 1 Women's Soccer at the University of the Pacific, I understand high

pressure working environments. Through my coaching experience, I have developed strong

interpersonal skills and I am interested in going into Public Policy. I have experience lobbying

and worked on a Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
