Welcome to Briana Kouma
My name is Briana Kouma, and I’m excited to join the Sierra Club’s Iowa Chapter as the new Conservation Program Coordinator. Throughout my career, I’ve been passionate about environmental conservation and community engagement.
Most recently, I worked with Habitat for Humanity of Omaha where I secured funding to support affordable housing initiatives and managed solar and sustainability programs. In addition, I currently serve as President of Heron Haven, a small wetland sanctuary in Omaha, Nebraska, where I focus on habitat conservation and environmental education.
My love for the environment isn’t just professional—it’s personal. While I may not be an Iowa native, growing up in neighboring Nebraska has given me a deep understanding of the environmental challenges we face. Living along the Platte River, I saw firsthand how water quality, drought, and ecosystem changes impact farmers and communities. These experiences reinforced my belief that by working together, we can create lasting, positive change.
At the Sierra Club, I look forward to collaborating with our members and communities to advocate for policies and programs that protect our environment. I believe in the power of grassroots organizing and collective action to drive meaningful progress, and I’m excited to be part of this movement.
