Get to Know "Miller"

How did you get involved in rugby?
"My mom suggested it."

Other interests:
"Hiking, taking care of my husband, dog parks, lifting, running, swimming."

If I had a million dollars I would ...
"Give it to USA Rugby only for the women's program, so that the best players can participate, not only the ones who can afford to go into debt."

Favorite rugby memory:
"Every time the national anthem plays prior to a match I get chills up my spine."

Rugby mentors/inspirations:
"Many people have helped me and taught me a ton of information.... Jen Smithart, Bryn Chivers, Trie, Barb Fugate, Kathy Flores, but most admiration goes to Liz Kirk, the most amazing rugby player and coach that I have ever had the honor to work with. "

Favorite Motto/Saying:
"Great isn't good enough when you dream about being the best."
