Mira Elisa Goeres was born on 22 June 1992 in Berlin; her older brother is the actor and stuntman Martin Goeres. She first appeared in front of the camera while she was still attending high school in the TV comedy "Mein Schüler, seine Mutter & ich" (2008). The following year, she appeared in a minor supporting role in the film "Songs of Love and Hate".  

After graduating from high school, Goeres studied acting at the Film University Babelsberg in Potsdam from 2011 to 2015. During her studies she starred in several short films. In 2013, she appeared on stage at the Hans Otto Theater in Potsdam in a production of Peter Handke's "Kaspar". Among Goere's teachers in Potsdam was the director Bodo Fürneisen, who cast her for the lead role in his fairytale film "Der Prinz im Bärenfell" ("The Prince in the Bear's Fur", 2015, TV).  

After graduating, Goere guest starred in several series, e.g. as a fashion blogger in "In aller Freundschaft - Die jungen Ärzte" (2016), as a driving instructor of a murder victim in "SOKO Leipzig" (2017) and as a murderer in "SOKO Köln" (2018). Since the 2017/18 season, she has been an ensemble member at the Meininger Staatstheater.  

Mira Elisa Goeres played her first leading role in a feature film in "Das letzte Mahl" ("The Last Supper") by Florian Frerichs, with whom she had already worked together as a student for his short film "Phoenix" (2014). In "Das letzte Mahl" she played the daughter of a Jewish-German family in Berlin who decides to leave Germany in 1933 after Hitler's rise to power. The film was already shot at the beginning of 2016 (shortly after Goere's graduation), but had its premiere only in 2018 at the Jewish Film Festival in Los Angeles. In January 2019, the film was released in German cinemas. Also in 2019, Goeres played a crime witness in the TV thriller "Ein ganz normaler Tag" (directed by Ben Verbong) and starred in a supporting role in Burhan Qurbani's modern adaptation of "Berlin Alexanderplatz".
