Jenna Miller earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Thomas Edison State University in Trenton. Miller said, “I am proud to have graduated with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts and human resource management. After joining the Air Force Reserves in 2017, I looked for a military-friendly school, and Thomas Edison was more than accommodating.
