About
A decade in the room, a slate of her own
Niika has spent over a decade moving between television, radio and film, first as a presenter and reporter, now as a producer building her own slate. She started out fronting the National Youth Suicide Campaign across Seven, Nine and Ten, and later spoke at the L'Oréal Fashion Show on mental health in the creative industries.
Her focus has settled on stories that sit at the intersection of advocacy and craft, particularly neurodiversity and women's experience.
She helped found Bruce and Pablo Pictures, and is a former CEO and board member of the Shaun Miller Foundation.
Mentored by the best
Learned from the industry's most respected figures
Niika was handpicked by the late Alan Finney OAM, of Village Roadshow and AFI standing, to lead acquisitions and development, work that pushed inclusive screen stories further into the mainstream.
She has since been mentored by veteran Australian producer Anne Bruning, whose credits span some of the biggest films shot in the southern hemisphere.

Charity and advocacy
More than a producer

The same instinct that drives her screen work, stories at the intersection of advocacy and craft, drives her off it. She is a genuine advocate.
