--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Born and raised in Miami, Fl., Miller began acting in high school productions, but she chose to major in the more practical field of marketing while attending Alabama State University. Realizing that she spent all of her free time acting in theater productions, she altered her plans, and focused on pursuing a career in the performing arts after graduation.

Intense in her desire to study the craft of acting, Miller earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of California, Irvine and has also studied at the Royal National Theatre in London as well as the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. The Florida native had the unusual opportunity to perform in West Africa, Cameroon and Ghana as a dancer and an actress, even being featured on "Grey Hairs", a program broadcast on Ghanian television.

Back in the USA, Miller has appeared in the guest cast of the HBO series "Arli$$" and CBS' courtroom drama "Michael Hayes". Since then, she has launched a professional acting career with lead roles in the independent feature films The Other Brother, in which she stars opposite Mekhi Phifer, and Rhinos.

Dark-haired and luminous, Miller made her starring debut as a regular in the college drama "Felicity" (The WB, 1998-2002), playing headstrong student Elena Tyler.

When not busy acting, Miller enjoys keeping up with one of her greatest passions, African/Caribbean dance. She also likes practicing yoga as well as studying and experiencing foreign cultures through her travels, most recently traveling through Spain, Greece, Italy, Egypt and Japan.

Miller currently lives in Los Angeles, Calif., where she purchased her first home and enjoys spending her free time remodeling and gardening. Named by TV Guide as one of the sexiest women on television, she recently starred opposite Vanessa Williams in the BET original movie Playing with Fire and stars in the original MTV television movie Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story.
