Virginia Tech

I'm Devin Miller, a junior Political Science major at Virginia Tech. I write for the student-run newspaper the Collegiate Times. Politically I consider myself a pragmatic moderate, and don't affiliate with any political party. I'm an Eagle Scout and active in the outdoors, particularly hiking in forests and mountains, although I love most forms of outdoor experience. I've interned at Conservation International and at the office of Virginia Senator Jim Webb. Both of my parents are conservationists. I was born in Maryland and raised in Virginia, the state in the Union that I am proud to live in.
