Eden Miller graduated from summa cum laude from ASU in 2022 with her undergraduate degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. She completed her master's degree in American Studies in 2024, graduating with distinction as the first graduate of this degree. Her thesis, entitled "There and Back Again: Fandom, Faith, and Fantasy Construction in Post-Lord of the Rings New Zealand," contends with the globalization of popular media and the exportation of imaginative world building constructs on a global scale. She was awarded the Friends of the Center Award from the Center for the Study of Religion and Conflict to conduct this research on-site in New Zealand.
While working toward her graduate degree, she worked with ASU Career Services as a Marketing Management Intern. She now works with the College of Health Solutions as a Communications Specialist, telling the stories of student, faculty and staff success, as well as chronicling events and milestones within the college.
