Learn more about Andrea below! ⬇️ Andrea Miller has roots that run deep in Appalachian Ohio. As a child, she spent countless hours on her great-grandparents’ farm in southeastern Ohio. Her great-grandmother was a ginseng steward and maintained a massive garden—interests that inspired Andrea to earn a degree in conservation biology from Bowling Green State University, followed by a master’s in herbalism from Maryland University of Integrative Health. After college, Andrea worked in Maryland for a time, managing the university’s herb garden and serving as the garden curator at Dr. Jim Duke's Green Farmacy Garden. After living in Maryland for four years, she returned to Appalachian Ohio, where she worked for three years at Companion Plants, a medicinal plant nursery. In 2021, Andrea began managing the Sustainable Forestry Program at Rural Action, and in 2024, she was promoted to Director of the program. In addition to her work at Rural Action, Andrea serves on the board of directors for the Athens Conservancyand the Native Foods Education Organization, and the leadership committee of the Southeastern Ohio Chapter of Women Owning Woodlands. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, kayaking, cooking, and spending time with her cat, Kiwi.
