Mira Busch

For my undergraduate degree, I studied Interdisciplinary in the Natural Sciences (Geology-Chemistry) at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI. Since 2019, I have worked in various programs at conservation non-profits such as the Nature Conservancy and National Wildlife Federation. Additionally, I worked as a Program Assistant for the Indigenous Women's Leadership Network (IWLN) from April 2021 through June 2025. IWLN crafts a network of support and encouragement for indigenous women working on water and natural resources in the Basin, highlighting the importance of matriarchal presence in tribal communities, decision-making and lifestyles.

 

I am energized by shared collaboration in protecting the lands and waters of the Colorado River Basin, uplifting tribal voices and supporting tribal economies.

 

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, playing accordion, board games, being outdoors, attending theater shows and rock climbing.
