She began her journey into the field of education as a pre-school teacher & trainer, developing an interest in the learning styles of young children. She served as an Undergraduate Academic Advisor with the International Studies Program at Texas A&M University.

In public schools, Dr. Miranda volunteered with gifted education programs, and served on local and diocesan committees for gifted education, and strategic planning. She has been a presenter at the American Creativity Association (ACA) national conference, the National Association for Gifted Children (NAGC) national conference, and the Center for Teacher Effectiveness (CTE) Time to Teach™ regional conference.
