At the 1980 Olympics Games in Moscow, she represented Great Britain, finishing in 11th place (1.85 m) in the overall-rankings. She set her personal best (1.94 metres) in 1980.

Miller left athletics and married teacher and rugby player Roy Gittens before making a comeback under her married name of Gittens and winning the 1985 Southern Counties title. In 1989, eleven years after her last podium place at the AAA Championships, she finished third again, this time behind Diana Davies at the 1989 AAA Championships.
