Background

About Sierra Kochersperger

From leading a successful clean water campaign in 5th grade that purified over 900 gallons of water to earning a degree in International Studies, I've remained committed to sustainable global development. My focus has been supporting African communities through various levels of nonprofit work, particularly empowering women via micro-loans and entrepreneurship. My research in rural Malawi, as part of the University of Dayton's Malawi practicum, examined and concluded the effectiveness of chieftaincy as a local judicial system, furthered my expertise in sustainable community development, cross-cultural competence, and much more. I am driven to equip women with the resources, skills, and knowledge they need to uplift their families and communities.WHAT TO EXPECT:A hardworking collaborator, altruistic humanitarian, goal oriented individual committed to improving the trajectory of women as changemakers in their lives and communities.CRITICAL PROJECTS:Examining Local Governance in Malawi Through a Gendered Lens - Local Governance Research Initiative for University of Dayton Human Rights Center’s partnership with international nonprofit organization, Determined to Develop.CORE COMPETENCIES:Cultural Competency | Refugee and Minority Advocate | Sustainable Local Community Development | Effective Written and Verbal Communication | Interpersonal Effectiveness | Professionalism and Ethics | Positive Personality | Quick Learner | Problem Solver | Project Management | Intercultural Customer Service | Critical Thinking | Self Leadership | Flexibility | Analytical Competence | AccountableCONTACT INFORMATION:Sierra Kocherspergersekochersperger@gmail.com
