Alexandra Miller, carpentry instructor

Alexandra Miller (she/her) started out her career as a manufacturing engineer. In 2016 she fled corporate life to hike the AT and travel, and has spent as much time as possible in the woods since. She has an encompassing love for the natural world, especially mycology, botany and the interdependencies of ecology. The active alumni community at Nature Camp in VA has played a huge role in cultivating her curiosity about the natural sciences, but also in construction skills for repairing the old camp buildings and empowering her to lead building projects and teach classes at adult sessions of camp every year.

She has been following her curiosity from DIY shelters to natural building techniques such as rocket stoves and cobb structures, and recently moved to Asheville for a job cutting, installing and designing timber frame houses. She knows how intimidating these skills seem at the beginning, and how grateful she was for the warm and patient teachers she met along the way at volunteer projects, workshops, and timber frame community builds. She is so excited to be sharing her enthusiasm and opening new doors of possibilities with you!
