Dr. Miles received her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Arlington in Operations and Supply Chain Management and her Masters degree in Management from the Georgia Institute of Technology.  Prior to completing her PhD, she spent 25 years in the United States Army as a logistics officer.  During her tenure, she participated in the planning and execution of countless missions in support of both Global wars on terrorism, all as a logistician.  As such, she has moved everything from ice to trash, tanks to fuel and people to boxes around the world; via ship, cargo plane, pipeline, railroad and truck.  Her experience is robust and certainly reflected in her research.   Specifically she is keenly interested in ‘the greater good’; pursuing research that examines corporate accountability, efficiency at what cost, and, more recently, corporate taxes and executive compensation.  She accomplishes research with the tenacity of an Army officer and the breath of a scholar.
