Dr. Miller is a regular presenter at the state, regional, and national level. She is interested in bridging the gap between academia and clinical practice by conducting relevant research of interest to the field. Her dissertation explored the common practices of supervisors providing supervision for licensure and provided a blueprint for practicing clinicians providing supervision to licensure candidates.
