Ms. Miller has worked as an Interpretive Park Ranger Assistant at Honeyman State Park where she created programs for and led the Jr. Ranger program for kids age 5-12. Ms. Miller has experience working as an Outdoor Environmental Education Instructor for YMCA Greater Seattle-Camp Orkila where she led outdoor education programs and activities on topics like adaptations, food webs/chains, forest investigation, marine invertebrate investigation, pond ecology, gardening and sustainability, and salmon life cycle. Ms. Miller also has experience working as Resource Education Apprentice at Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area in Newport leading interpretive tours of Yaquina Head Lighthouse and the Marine Garden and was responsible for creating a stewardship program for 6^th-8^th graders.
