Hello! Kaya!
I'm a digital producer with a background working in television, radio and podcasts.
​
I've been shortlisted for prestigious photography awards including the National Photography Portrait Prize, The MGA Bowness Awards, Perth Iris Awards, the Galah Regional Photography Prize and International Photography Prize.
​
Over the past five years I've worked on radio documentaries for ABC Radio, Big hART and the Community Broadcasting Assoc. of Australia, among other podcasts. I'm also the monthly producer of national health podcast, Nursing Australia, where I write scripts, organise interviews and edit and upload each episode.
​
I've also worked as a Digital Producer and Media Mentor for Big hART and AWESOME Arts and have created videos for WA Opera, FORM, Big hART and AWESOME Arts.
​​​​
A lot of my work sends me out regionally and this suits me just fine - I come from a sheep farm myself so I love getting out bush whenever I get the chance.
I also love to collab with friends and make fun videos.

P.S. CLAIM TO FAME: Osher Günsberg made a meme out of my pic!
