Ella Burns

I'm a senior from Richmond, Virginia, majoring in Environmental Studies with a certificate in the Studies of the American West. My academic focus centers on western water systems and water management, areas I'm deeply passionate about as we face growing climate and water challenges. I'm also a CU Water Fellow for 2025–2026 and a proud member of CU Field Hockey. Outside the classroom and the field, I love hiking, traveling, scuba diving, and spending time with friends.
