Career
McCormick first took an interest in acting in 2006 when she joined The Corsa Agency in Los Angeles. Her first onscreen appearance was uncredited, in the television series 'Til Death at the age of nine.

In 2011, she was chosen for the role of Olive, a girl with an eidetic memory, in the Disney Channel series A.N.T. Farm.[4] She was cast after an audition where she continuously spoke about tigers. Dan Signer stated: "And as I heard her continually talking about tigers, I thought, 'That's just how Olive would sound.' Which is how Sierra got that part." According to an interview with McCormick, getting the role was easy because she and China were already friends from their previous work experience.[2]
McCormick starred with Grace Phipps and Spencer Breslin in the 2015 horror movie Some Kind Of Hate, which played at the Stanley Film Festival, the Fantasia International Film Festival, and FrightFest.[5][6][7]
