Nancy Y. Augustine
Project Director / Director, Center for Intergovernmental Partnership
Intern
Sierra is a Master’s in Public Policy student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where she recently graduated with a B.A. in Political Science.
While a summer intern at the Center, Sierra worked on a 50-state inventory of vote-by-mail processes, specifically looking at their equity and efficient access to citizens.
As she continues her internship into the fall, Sierra is expanding her work on this research by looking at the process the vote-by-mail policy undergoes to be changed in a specific state. In the future, Sierra hopes to continue working in policy for or with all levels of government.
When she is not busy with her internship or studies, Sierra also likes to hike, swim, and ski.
