Revive President
Jen Miller
Jen Miller is a wildlife conservationist passionate about protecting biodiversity and building resilience among conservation practitioners. Jen began engaging with the heart-side of conservation after noticing herself and her colleagues struggle with burnout and despair across the government, non-profit and academic sectors where she worked. In her spare time, and as a Certified iRest© Yoga Nidra meditation teacher, Jen teaches workshops to support conservation practitioners in strengthening their resilience to navigate the emotional burden of saving the planet. Outside the office, she relishes meditating, bird watching, baking pies and kayaking with her ornithologist husband and fellow-birdwatching kittens in her multi-home states of Washington, DC and Florida, USA.

She is pursuing a Doctorate of Public Health at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, and holds a MS in Environmental Conservation and a MEd in Mental Health Counseling. Her current professional interests (in no particular order) relate to climate adaptation and the mental health impacts of climate change (e.g. ecological grief); designing evidence-based programming around One Health and Total Worker Health, landscape connectivity and the collaborative partnerships this requires; value-based decision making and behavior change; and normalizing conservation as an inclusive, just, and welcoming profession and way of life.
