Dr. Donna Miller

I became a part of the dynamic team at the Office of the Attorney-General and Ministry of Legal Affairs in July 2021 after almost four years at the Cabinet Office.

This responsibility includes but is not limited to administrative duties, drafting Cabinet Memoranda, letters, responding to incoming and outgoing correspondence, execution of special projects, participation in meetings (in person/virtually), assessing, advising, and resolving staff concerns and that of the general public, preparing End of Year Reports, and providing advice to the Attorney-General, Minister of State, and the staff.
