Jahnae Miller

Jahnae Miller (she/her) is a Los Angeles, CA native who has called the DMV area home for over a decade. She earned a bachelor’s in elementary education from Howard University, where she discovered her passion for education during a campus-sponsored service trip aimed at battling illiteracy. Adding to her experience, Jahnae also served with Jumpstart, worked as a teacher’s aide at the early learning program on campus, completed a summer teaching fellowship with Uncommon Schools and fulfilled countless practicum hours in DCPS schools throughout the city. Jahnae began her professional teaching career with Prince George’s County Public Schools, where she taught Kindergarten before transitioning to teaching PK4 (GenEd and SpEd Inclusion) at KIPP DC, where she also taught Kindergarten and spent some time as a school interventionist. During this time, Jahnae completed a fellowship that earned her an additional teaching certificate in special education. In these roles, Jahnae had the pleasure of mentoring, coaching and facilitating professional development for resident teachers to prepare them for success as lead teachers. Following many years in the classroom, Jahnae is excited to join the Reading Partners DC team as a program manager, where she can continue being a change agent in education. In her spare time, Jahnae enjoys traveling, reading, hanging with friends and family, and spending quality time with her pup, Aspen.
