She loves to sing and act and is very involved in theatre acting at the Plano Children’s Theatre. She aspires to one day be a Marine Biologist. Sierra struggles with the challenges of dyslexia on a daily basis. Wonderful teachers and special programs developed for dyslexia have helped Sierra learn how to read. She is now near her grade level for reading but writing and spelling continue to be challenging. Her success achieved through acting, singing and writing stories and play scripts give her flight to soar above these daily challenges. Ruth Flad was raised in Beaver County in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. In 1986, she moved to Los Angeles, California, where she met and married her husband Steven R. Flad, her best friend for nearly 25 years. They were blessed by God to adopt both of their children, Luke in 1998 and Sierra in 2002. When Sierra was in Kindergarten and First grade they realized there was a problem with her abilities to read and write. After much investigation and testing it was determined in May 2010 that sweet little Sierra had dyslexia. Dyslexia can be very frustrating but they were not about to let it cause Sierra to dislike reading and writing. Ruth has worked in the pension/retirement business for about 27 years. She enjoys working from home in Dallas, Texas for a pension software company that services retirement plan providers. Her greatest joys come from being a wife and mom.
