ReMA welcomes Aaron Triffleman-Miller as its summer intern on the economics team within ReMA’s Advocacy department. Triffleman-Miller is assisting Chief Economist Joe Pickard and Senior Economist Bret Biggers with research, analytics, and writing project during his summer internship.

Triffleman-Miller is from Port Washington, New York on Long Island, and attends Case Western Reserve University, where he is an economics major with a quantitative concentration. In March, he was admitted into the integrated masters program in finance. Triffleman-Miller will graduate in 2026 with both degrees.

“I have always been interested in recycling because of my dad (ReMA member Scott Miller, Sims Metal), and I attended a few ISRI (now ReMA) conventions with him, which is what sparked my interest,” said Triffleman-Miller. “The industry got my attention because I enjoyed the conventions so much.”

According to Triffleman-Miller, he likes writing analysis of market data, especially looking at government data because he has previously done a similar thing in econometrics, but with more coding.

Triffleman-Miller enjoys the advocacy aspects of his work and plans for a future in government. “I want to work in the government after I graduate,” added Triffleman-Miller. “Being able to see the advocacy side, the effects of policies, and what is done with the data that government organizations publish, has been really insightful.”
