Miranda is from Moscow “Heart of the Arts” Idaho. She studied journalism and wrote for the Army ROTC program and agricultural department at the University of Idaho before moving to Colorado to write weekly columns for local papers and coach basketball. She earned her graduate degree in communications from Gonzaga University after developing and implementing a writing workshop for the incarcerated, and has since taught at universities in Montana, Washington, California, and Indiana.
During the pandemic she published her first five personals in various publications that became the roots of her debut essay collection The World and My Body in It (Barnes and Noble Press, 2023). She continues to publish in journals and reviews and is a former co-editor of The Calendula Review: A Journal of Narrative Medicine.
In 2024 she was biographized in Marquis Who’s Who, a directory with a 125-year history of “aiming to profile leaders and influencers in different areas of society.”
Her writing is a place-based crush of matters pertaining to crucible and delight, memory and obsession, and the pursuit of meaning.
