Ms. Miley is a proud alum of the University of Florida. Go Gators! Although Ms. Miley has had an exceptional journalism career, she has answered a moral call to establish a nonprofit. Ms. Miley was born in Riviera Beach and attended Suncoast High School so it is not an accident that students in Palm Beach County are direct beneficiaries of the efforts of the Miley Miller Foundation.
