Kelly Miller
Senior Manager for Technical Assistance , National Association of State Head Injury Administrators
Kelly Miller’s experience in the brain injury field began in 2020 as a Project Manager at MINDSOURCE, Colorado’s lead agency on brain injury. In that role Kelly supported the Colorado Advisory Council on Brain Injury, facilitated the creation of a new state plan on brain injury and managed multiple priorities related to the Administration for Community Living Brain Injury State Partnership Program Grant. Kelly Miller joined NASHIA in June 2024 in the role of Senior Manager for Technical Assistance. Kelly worked in the criminal justice field for ten years as a Probation Supervisor in Colorado’s 5th Judicial District. Her areas of expertise during that time included juvenile justice, sex offender supervision, victims rights, program quality assurance and motivational interviewing. Kelly also has twelve years of experience related to child welfare in roles ranging from Child Protection Caseworker to Supervisor and Executive Director. Kelly earned a masters of social work degree from the University of Wyoming back when people were still saying “are we having fun yet?” and “talk to the hand”. The intersectionality of brain injury within the criminal justice and child welfare systems led to Kelly’s career shift to brain injury focused roles and advocacy.
