Strategic Copywriter and Empathetic Leader

If you are looking for a kind, clever, and strategic creative professional who loves puns, em dashes, and delicious pastries—then you're in the right place.

Here are some nifty companies I've worked with:

Hi there!

I'm Sierra, your friendly neighborhood copywriter, community manager, and digital marketing manager with over 10 years of experience building brand voices, crafting clever copy, driving audience engagement, and delivering results for top-tier global clients (e.g., Disney, Netflix, Amazon, and more).

I love transforming big ideas into succinct, compelling narratives for B2B and B2C clients across digital, social media, and irl experiences.

I truly enjoy managing teams, mentoring contractors, connecting with colleagues, and fostering a positive work environment—even when the work is remote.

About Me

From Acting to Advertising

In elementary school, I was in my first play, and the experience was exhilarating. This sparked my lifelong love affair with acting, which eventually evolved into a career of building brand voices in advertising. I attribute my adaptable writing style to my years of acting and comedy improv training, as these skills trained me to quickly embody unique voices and craft imaginative and original narratives.

Mom Life and More

These days, my most demanding role is as a mom to my daughter, who loves to throw freshly made food on the floor and point at books until I read them to her. Having invested in a decent in-home espresso machine—due to the aforementioned demands—I also enjoy dabbling in latte art.

I'm always interested in discussing new opportunities and creative challenges. Whether you need compelling copy, strategic content planning, or someone who can seamlessly bridge creative and digital initiatives, I'd love to hear from you.

What colleagues and collaborators have to say about working with me.

Liesl Kadile

Senior Art Director, Amazon Brand Innovation Lab

"While working with Sierra, I always knew I could rely on her. Not only is she a copywriting aficionado, creative collaborator, community management connoisseur, and a maven of managing freelancers, she also brings a fun and light sense of humor to brainstorms that is clever, punny, and simply unparalleled. Her copywriting is not just technically correct, but flows with a really beautiful rhythm and clarity.

One major thing that truly stands out to me concerning her work style is her thoughtfulness. If you ask Sierra for her input on design or for some fresh copy, she paces her answer and gives it when the answer is right. This has saved so much time in the long run. She also is very insightful concerning process improvements while always remaining respectful and collaborative. Sierra is kind, empathetic, intelligent, and a delight to work with. For all of these reasons and more, I recommend Sierra as a strong and resourceful team member."

Serena Abraham

Multimedia Design & Art Direction | Shorty Award Winner, Webby Nominee

"I had the pleasure of working with Sierra for around 4 years while at Cynosure Creative Agency. I can confidently say she is an invaluable asset to any team. Her boundless motivation, enthusiasm, and bright energy elevated every project we took on.

During brainstorming sessions, she consistently brought fresh, innovative ideas to the table, and always strove to take initiative when provided a challenge. Her ability to think outside the box while remaining focused on the task made her a standout team member.

Her copywriting skills were effortless. She always had the best approaches and puns to tackle any asset we worked on. As someone outside that space, I found myself deeply inspired by her approach and creativity.

If you're seeking someone who brings passion, creativity, and kindness to the workplace, I cannot recommend Sierra enough."

Jessie Swanson

Solution Oriented Project Manager

"For the three years I worked closely with Sierra at Cynosure Creative Agency, she was nothing short of consistently incredible.

A copywriting savant capable of everything ranging from the punny fake book title to the most eloquent description of a creative concept and everything in between, Sierra always has the right words to match the tone. Approaching her with ever evolving and sometimes strange requests was always a highlight of my workday as every interaction was inevitably met with a genuine kindness and warmth and the occasional perfect cheesy joke. She quickly became someone I could trust with complex problems and rely on providing carefully considered results, often above and beyond expectations.

Sierra is not only an effortless joy to work with, but watching her grow personally and professionally during the time our paths overlapped has been an inspiration. As she took on the mantle of managing others, she has been able to cultivate amazing relationships and guide those reporting to her through motivation and diplomacy. As a manager, Sierra is consistent and understanding while providing a solid foundation for her team to lean on for support and guidance when needed.

The perfect combination of skills, experience, and personality, Sierra is a welcome addition to any team and someone I have come to consider a friend through our years working together."

Elementary School Teacher, Mentor & Storyteller

"I had the honor of working with Sierra across multiple award-winning social media campaigns in her role as Senior Copywriter & Community Manager during our shared time at Cynosure Creative Agency. She was one of the first employees to welcome me to the remote company and show me the ropes, which let me know early on that she was extremely kind and highly knowledgeable. Throughout our many pitches, brainstorms, copy review sessions, management huddles, and virtual 'coffees', my respect and appreciation for both Sierra the Colleague and Sierra the Person grew immensely, cementing her as an invaluable member of the agency's creative leadership team.

Sierra is curious, attentive, and proactive, traits that when combined means she notices whenever something seems even slightly out of the ordinary -- whether it be a line of copy, a coworker's ignored raised hand during a Zoom meeting, or a client question that has gone unanswered -- and will then immediately alert the proper channels while aiding in resolving the issue. This also spills into the thoroughness of her written word, a non-negotiable requirement of her client- and public-facing role that demands 100% copywriting perfection. Lastly, one of Sierra's more underrated skills that deserves praise is her consistency in communicating her calendar availability and project status, as there is never any doubt about where she is or what she is working on, making her reliable and reachable whenever her attention is needed.

A common element of these positive attributes is Sierra can easily apply them to any role she's undertaking, especially those involving creative, project management, or leadership. It was a joy working with Sierra, and I highly recommend her to any potential employers!"

Sandi Harari

SVP, Creative Director at BARKER

"Sierra came to our agency as an intern- and like the best of them- gracefully inserted herself into every department and showcased her range of skill sets. She also made herself indispensable to several departments, managing to bridge between creative, account and digital. I'm a 20-year veteran of advertising and somehow Sierra found a way into my office every week and got my attention. Whether she was presenting me with a social media strategy or an out-of-the-box idea to make office communication more efficient, her ideas are well-thought out, organized and made her look like a seasoned pro. Sierra is an interesting synthesis of right brain left brain. She has an ability to ask some deep creative and strategic questions- her critical thinking is excellent. But she also has the organization skills to manage content and communications agency wide. More importantly, Sierra NEVER dials it in. She always drives to make things and people around her better, sharper, smarter. She brought her A game to BARKER and I know that even as the Creative Director it made me feel like kicking it up a notch."

Jennifer Schwartz

Associate Creative Director at Barker DZP

"Sierra is the definition of a go-getter. I worked closely with Sierra while she was at Barker from when she came in as an intern to when she joined the team as a Content Coordinator. She is a pleasure to work with, and has one of the best work ethics that I've ever seen. She has a wonderfully strong voice and always goes above and beyond what is asked. And she is willing to give any job a try, and performs it with clarity, precision and grace."

Emma Swanson

Agency Assistant at BARKER Advertising & Interactive

"I have had the privilege of working with Sierra in her role as social media consultant for Barker Advertising and Interactive. Not only is Sierra insightful and knowledgeable about social media, but she is also extremely friendly and pleasant to work with. Because Sierra was in California and I'm in New York, we had bi-weekly Skype meetings and she was always punctual and organized for our sessions.

Sierra really understands how to create a presence on social media. She has extensive knowledge about social media analytics and she coached us on how to create posts that were tailored to each platform, in order to most effectively reach our target audience. I really enjoyed working with Sierra and I would love to work with her again."
