Tanya Miller is from Southbury, CT, where she graduated from Pomperaug High School, though both of her parents are originally from the Czech Republic. Tanya will be majoring in Allied Health Sciences with the ultimate goal of working in pediatrics. As a member of HCOP, Tanya has had the opportunity to take part in the Junior and Senior Doctors Academies, the High School Mini Medical/Dental School Program, and the High School Student Research Apprentice Program, the latter affording her the chance to work on a biological software program called V-Cell at the Center for Cell Analysis and Modeling. Tanya enjoys running and hopes to eventually take part in a half-marathon.
