She trains with Pure Athletics in Clermont, Florida, under coach Lance Brauman. Her idols include Jamaican sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown and French sprinter Marie-Jose Perec.

Achievements and Challenges

Throughout her career, Miller-Uibo has faced several injuries. In 2015, she suffered a hip flexor muscle injury during the Diamond League event in Monaco but returned to training within a month. She missed the 2014 World Relay Championships due to a hamstring injury and did not finish her 400m heat at the 2012 Olympic Games in London after straining her left hamstring.

Philosophy and Awards

Miller-Uibo's sporting philosophy is simple: "I always tell myself that when I fall out of love with it or I am not having fun with it, I will hang it up." Despite the challenges, she continues to enjoy and learn from athletics. Her accolades include being named Senior Female Athlete of the Year by The Nassau Guardian in 2018 and receiving the Prime Minister Award for National Pride in 2015.

Memorable Moments
