Torchbearers

Sierra Oden is a Licensed Independent Social Worker currently serving as the Secondary School Social Worker for Cuyahoga Falls City School District. She has worked in the social services field for over 11 years, with a strong focus on supporting youth and families. A proud Barberton alum, Sierra earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Lee University and a Master’s in Social Service Administration from Case Western Reserve University, solidifying her status as a Northeast Ohio Boomerang.

Sierra has been involved with Torchbearers since 2019—first as a volunteer, then as a committee chair and board member—and is honored to now serve as the organization’s President. She also serves on the Board of Directors for the Downtown Cuyahoga Falls Partnership and volunteers on its Events & Fundraising Committee. Sierra was named a recipient of the Greater Akron Chamber’s 30 for the Future Award and was appointed by Mayor Don Walters to serve on the Cuyahoga Falls Welcoming Workforce Coalition.

She currently lives in Cuyahoga Falls with her husband, daughter, stepson, and a cat and dog she lovingly forced upon her very patient husband.
