About Janelle Miller

Janelle grew up in Topeka, Kansas, with a mother who served as a union steward. Inspired by watching her mother fight for her coworkers, she became enamored with the art of advocacy and made it her mission while she was still in elementary school to become a lawyer so she could help others just like her mom.
