CEA CAPA Student Support Services Directory

Born and raised in Huntington Beach, CA, Cierra craved a change of scenery and decided to head to the desert to attend Arizona State University. While she enjoyed every minute of life as a Sun Devil, she felt an urge to see more of the world and set her sights on studying abroad her senior year. She made her way to Galway, Ireland, and it was the best semester (and time) of her life. She was able to visit Scotland and England during this semester, but her fondest memories are certainly the time in Ireland. 

Cierra knew she would want to continue to be a part of international education in some way, and a few months after returning to the states, she had the opportunity to intern with CEA CAPA twice. A few years later, she found her way back as a full-time employee and now supports our Enrollment Department. Her work includes accepting students into CEA CAPA programs, serving on the Scholarship Committee, and assist with the student visa process.

Cierra enjoy nothing more than being a part of the process to assist students in embarking on one of the most unforgettable experiences of their lives. One day, she hopes to live in Europe full-time, but for now, she is enjoying Arizona’s sunshine.

In her free time, Cierra is enjoy playing Pokemon Go and disc golf, going to indie & alternative rock shows, spending time with family, and, of course, traveling!
