Coach Miller is native to the Central Valley, growing up in Madera, Calif. She is the daughter of John & Yvonne Arellano. Miller gives credit to her dad and sister Victoria for teaching her how to play softball. Prior to her collegiate career, Miller was a starting pitcher and outfielder on the varsity squad at Madera High School for four seasons, being coached/mentored by Judy Shaubach, who celebrated her 500th career win in 2012, and continues to be the winningest female softball coach in Central Section history. Miller attributes her pitching success to her mentor and pitching coach, Leroy "Mr. Z" Zimmerman, who was inducted into the International Softball Hall of Fame in 1971. Miller’s passion for coaching comes from her deep love of the game and the coaching she was blessed with growing up.
