Miya Seegmiller

About
Miya Seegmiller is a Division II student concentrating in history, comparative literature, and creative writing. She alleges that these disciplines are three sides of the same three-sided coin. Her Division II contract is "filed," to the best of her knowledge, in CSI. Whenever this comes up in conversation, she is liable to dramatically remove her glasses or hum a few bars of a Who song, but gets mad when anybody else does this. She is distinctive by her height (an even but ungainly six feet) and decidedly red hair.
