A native of Amherst, Massachusetts, Miriam was one of Sargent College's outstanding all-around athletes during the early 1930s. Competing in interclass matchups, she played basketball, baseball, field hockey, lacrosse, fistball and ran track. One of the highlights of her career was receiving Sargent's Tnegras Award her senior year.

Following graduation, she embarked on a career teaching high school physical education in the Auburn, New York and Springfield, Massachusetts school systems. She retired from the teaching profession at 55, and after spending time in Arizona, she moved to Florida.

Miriam continued to be active in sports, and as a member of the Appalachian Mountain Club, she hiked many of the Appalachian Trails.
