“Carla is certainly one of the unsung, phenomenal women of Michigan. Her tireless dedication to growing her business and serving her community, while raising her family is enviable. Carla Walker-Miller is tough, well versed and trained in her fields of work. An engineer by training, Mrs. Walker-Miller strives to pass on her "can-do" attitude and life experiences to others through her teaching, in-house training and her dedication to excellence in business delivery and practices. She asks nothing of others that she has not already done or is willing to do. She leads by example and leads when others hesitate. Carla has the ability to see all of the parts and develop the big picture. Her barriers to business growth are external-- and if eliminated, would result in tremendous business growth and community benefit for Southeast Michigan. I highly recommend Carla and Walker-Miller Energy Services, L.L.C.”
