Currently she is an MFA Candidate with the Stonecoast program at the University of Southern Maine, working to explore identity through poetry and craft. 

Miles originally comes from Norway, Maine and now has settled in Portland with their partner and cat, Goose. They are an avid lover of lilacs, spring, the color yellow, and all things isopods!
