Jen Miller, Editorial Staff

Having been saddled with an extraordinarily boring name, Jen Miller has dedicated her life to becoming an original. Unfortunately, she has been unsuccessful. Google the name and you’ll come up with Jen Miller, porn star, and pictures of a punk-esque woman in a “Jen Miller rocks” t-shirt. This Jen Miller, however, is a mild mannered South Jersian who has relocated to the big bad city of Philadelphia. Her essays have been published in The Drexel Online Journal, Student Leader Magazine and Florida Leader Magazine. She is working on a memoir about what it was like to play uber-competitive softball, an experience that was nothing short of traumatic and the reason that the only competitive sport she plays is H.O.R.S.E. By day, she works in Public Affairs for PENN Medicine, and by night, she goes back to trying to make her name all her own.
