Miller earned her master’s of education degree at Bowling Green State University in 2002. While completing that degree, Miller worked a year as a teaching and research assistant at Bowling Green and another year as a graduate assistant coach at Tiffin University. Miller also worked for a year as the teen program director at the Boys & Girls Club of Massillon, Ohio, and completed an internship as a community outreach coordinator with the Women’s Sports Foundation.
In addition to her basketball coaching duties at Westminster, Miller served as the assistant softball coach for nine seasons and helped the program to seven winning seasons and one conference championship.
