About Cathleen
Cathleen Miller was born in the United States but has traveled widely in pursuit of research, adventure, and experience.

In 2018, Cathleen received the honor of being appointed as the Distinguished Chair of the Humanities at the University of Manchester, serving as a Fulbright Scholar to the United Kingdom, where she now lives.
