Biography
Sierra McVeigh
Sierra McVeigh is a first-generation Double Gator. Having changed her career aspirations during her time as a student, she values the opportunity for students to intentionally self-reflect and access additional support through the new Transition Advisor roles to make the most of their college years in working toward a fulfilling post-graduation life. Now, as a Certified Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator (CWMF), Yin Yoga instructor, and Certified Career Services Provider (CCSP), her work with students is heavily influenced by her expertise in mindfulness, wellness, and career planning and development.
A staunch advocate of mindfulness and intentionality, Sierra encourages students to appreciate and maximize every decision available to them—academically and otherwise—and be active decision-makers in their own lives. Her advising approach incorporates the Socratic Method and focuses on empowering students to educate themselves on their options and explore with open minds and curiosity.
You will always find seasonal decorations, a variety of teas, and baked goods in Sierra’s office. In her personal time, she enjoys learning about cultures through their food and culinary histories, hosting dinner parties, and traveling.
