‘s life is like now. The proud Gadigal and Bundjalung woman made her debut by the arch window in early August alongside  and special guest for a Yarning and Dreaming episode. The ep celebrated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children’s Day, heard from a bunch of Indigenous kids and was so deeply wholesome. Miah said she felt more like a lifelong fan than a member of the cast when she stepped onto the set for her first day. She got to meet her all-time favourite star — Little Ted — and spend time creating with presenters she loved when she was younger. “When I got the opportunity to work on it was a dream come true,” she said. “I felt like a fan visiting the set on my first day! I got to finally meet Little Ted, do some arts and crafts with presenters I’ve admired my whole life and I got to sing and dance and be a little bit silly! I can’t wait for my future as a presenter.” Watching the Rocket Clock as a host isn’t the first time we’ve met Miah on our screens. She started her acting career as a 10-year-old opposite ,  and  on . She’s been on the ABC too with roles in  and  under her belt. Miah said she’s always loved making people laugh and it’s a dream to be able to play characters full-time. “I fell in love with the idea of storytelling and playing a character and haven’t stopped since,” she said. “I absolutely loved being silly as a child (and as a young adult too). My family would sit on the couch and I would dance and sing and do impressions of funny people on TV. “I love making people laugh!” You can catch Miah on  on ABC Kids or catch up over on .
