She obtained degrees in communication disorders and special education, with an emphasis in early childhood, from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Miller’s work integrates research, teaching, clinical practice, and systems-level improvement in services for young children and families. Her professional expertise centers on early childhood development, family-centered practices, and outcomes for infants and toddlers with developmental risk, including those with neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) histories.

Miller has extensive experience supporting children who are medically fragile and their families, with particular emphasis on developmental monitoring, early identification, and access to early intervention services. Her work frequently bridges clinical care, community programs, and state early childhood systems.

In addition, Miller contributes to interdisciplinary workforce development through teaching, mentorship, and applied research and evaluation focused on improving the quality, equity, and effectiveness of early childhood services.
