Early and personal life

She studied architecture at the University of Buenos Aires, graduating in 2007.[1] She is married to Jorge Ferraresi, former intendente of Avellaneda and current Minister of Territorial Development and Habitat in the cabinet of Alberto Fernández.

Political career

[edit]

Sierra was Undersecretary of Municipal Planning in Avellaneda from 2009 to 2013, during her husband's first term as mayor.[3] In 2013, she ran for a seat in the Avellaneda City Council, as part of the Front for Victory list; she was elected.[4] In the 2015 provincial elections, Sierra was elected as Provincial Senator for the Third Electoral Section.[5]

Sierra ran for a seat in the Argentine Chamber of Deputies in the 2017 legislative election; she was the 11th candidate in the Unidad Ciudadana list in Buenos Aires Province.[6] The Unidad Ciudadana list received 36.28% of the votes, and Sierra made it past the D'Hondt cut to be elected. She was sworn in on 6 December 2017.[7][8]

As a national deputy, Sierra formed part of the parliamentary commissions on Habitat and Urban Planning, Addiction Prevention, Sports, Disabilities, Women and Diversity, Municipal Affairs, and Public Works.[1] She was a supporter of the 2020 Voluntary Interruption of Pregnancy bill, which legalized abortion in Argentina.[9]

Ahead of the 2021 legislative election, Sierra was confirmed as one of the candidates in the Frente de Todos list to the Avellaneda City Council.[10]
