Piia grew up in Northern Tasmania, listening to ABC Northern Tasmania in her dad’s car on the way to school.
At the end of school she jetted off to spread her wings, travelling around south east Asia, Nepal, India and New Zealand. Coming back she realised just how great a place Tassie is, and is a passionate Tassie advocate.
After a short stint in Queensland where she dived into the world of film and television, Piia returned again to Tassie where she found herself drawn to telling the real stories of real people in the community around her.
She worked for a couple of years as a casual producer at ABC Northern Tasmania, before taking a break to cut her teeth in a print newsroom. Piia worked as the Sunday reporter for The Examiner before coming home again to ABC Northern Tasmania, this time as Drive presenter.
Piia is passionate about Tasmania and community, and loves hunting out the extraordinary stories of ordinary Tasmanians.
