Youth career

Miller grew up in Arizona and played youth soccer with Sereno Soccer Club, where she was teammates with Julie Johnston. [3]

Collegiate career

Miller played for the Florida State Seminoles women's soccer team from 2014 to 2017. Playing every minute in goal for the 2014 Seminoles team, Florida State recorded a 24–1–1 record and won the program's first College Cup. [4] As of 2022, her 19 solo shutouts in the 2014 season were tied for the NCAA Division I all-time record with Katelyn Rowland and Casey Murphy. [5]

Club career

Miller played for teams in the pro-am USL W-League and Women's Premier Soccer League, including the Toronto Lady Lynx in 2014,[ citation needed ] Colorado Rush in 2015, [6] Seattle Sounders Women in 2016, [7] and Chicago Red Stars Reserves in 2017. [8]

The Red Stars rostered Miller as the team's third keeper before the 2021 season, but injuries to backup Emily Boyd while on loan and to starter Alyssa Naeher at the 2020 Summer Olympics resulted in Miller becoming the team's starting goalkeeper for the end of the season. The Red Stars qualified for the playoffs, and Miller recorded two post-season shutouts against NJ/NY Gotham FC and Portland Thorns FC [12] before drawing 1–1 against Washington Spirit in regulation time of the championship match and losing 2–1 after extra time.

In the 2023 season, Franch was benched by interim head coach Caroline Sjöblom in favor of Miller. [16]

NJ/NY Gotham FC, 2024

On January 23, 2024, Miller was traded to Gotham FC in exchange for $70,000 in allocation money as well as a $30,000 intra-league transfer fee. [2]
