Miller spent time as a basketball operations intern for the Phoenix Suns before her time in the G League. She was named assistant GM of the Skyhawks in July 2019 and began her G League career as basketball operations manager three seasons ago with the Erie BayHawks.

Former Skyhawks GM Derek Pierce will continue to oversee Atlanta's scouting department in his role as VP of player personnel for the Hawks, the team said.
