About Kim Miller
I'm Dr. Kim Miller, a seasoned academic leader and empowerment consultant who has dedicated over 20 years to helping people navigate complex educational and professional landscapes with confidence and authenticity. As a college professor and equity-centered leader, I specialize in helping individuals find their voices, claim their agency, and advocate for themselves with confidence. I specialize in three interconnected areas: grant writing and funding strategy, negotiation training, and college-to-career coaching that bridges that crucial gap between education and meaningful work. My approach is grounded in equity and social justice - because everyone deserves to thrive professionally while staying true to who they are.
I'm the person others turn to for strategic career guidance and unwavering support. Let me help you align your work with what truly matters most to you, and build the meaningful career you envision.
