Her clinical and research interests center on lifestyle medicine, cancer prevention, and women’s health, with a focus on immigrant and underserved populations. She participates in community-based research and provides comprehensive care that includes prenatal services, inpatient medicine, and continuity care from newborns through end-of-life.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Mendez Miller enjoys camping, experimenting in the kitchen, and sharing new foods and cultural experiences with her family. She's learning to golf (with mixed results) and finds great fun and fulfillment in coaching her children’s soccer and robotics teams. Whether she’s volunteering at her church or caring for one of the many pets in her household, she embraces opportunities to stay connected, grounded, and involved in her community.
