Myrna Machuca-Sierra

Senior Manager - Impact and Engagement

Myrna brings great balance to the team at Sefa – she’s a doer and a thinker, equally comfortable leading or collaborating. She’s in her element when she’s supporting governments and community organisations in reaching their goals. Myrna has been doing just that for the past 12 years, 10 of those as an Economist with the World Bank, across 17 countries in Latin America, Central and Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. During this time, she’s built her expertise in education, youth and community development, research and impact management and measurement.

Empathetic and curious, with a great sense of humour, Myrna has another calling beyond community impact. A connoisseur of Mexican liquors, she is renowned for her solid tasting sessions of and endless knowledge of various Mexican beverages. Myrna lives and works on unceded Gadigal Land.
