Radio

You might have heard me talking in between the songs on KIIS 1011, the Ace Radio Network, or JOY 94.9.In my radio career so far, I’ve gone to air riding a thrill ride at Moomba, checked in to a Pit Stop with Phil Keoghan from The Amazing Race, helped management shut down a radio station for a stunt, and hosted a Mardi Gras party on national radio that literally had people on Sydney’s Oxford Street dancing.In 2015, I became the first non-binary presenter on Australian commercial radio when I joined Melbourne's KIIS 101.1.In 2016, I took KIIS 101.1 Weekends from a 5.2 share (survey 7, 2015) to 5.9 (survey 8, 2016).In 2018, I was nominated for an ACRA for Best Music Presenter (C) for my work with the ACE Radio Network.In 2019, I was part of the team behind JOY 94.9's Sydney Mardi Gras broadcast, which won the 2019 CBAA Award for Best Special Event Broadcast.
In 2020, I co-hosted JOY's Sydney Mardi Gras coverage live from the event.
Ash London says “if there's a music passion club, (Triana has) a gold membership”.I'm currently looking for a role in radio either as a solo music presenter, or as a part of a content team.Can panel.

Streaming

I began live streaming in 2018. I love clicking that "Go Live" button and being able to share my reactions to my favourite games in real time, with my smart, kind, and funny community!I love games that are fast, bold, colourful, and fun.
Racing games are generally my favourites, but anything that is fun to play and has a unique aesthetic is likely to get my attention!

CURRENT BRAND INTEGRATIONSI am currently an Xbox Game Pass Ambassador, which means I occasionally get to check out some early access games, thanks to Xbox ANZ!

PAST BRAND INTEGRATIONSPresenter - APAC Region, Microsoft Pride Global Livestream 2020

ESPORTS

I'm keen to bring my more than a decade's worth of experience in live broadcast to the world of esports.In 2019, I cast Rocket League matches for Flaktest Youth Esports, which helps teachers drive youth engagement in schools through esports clubs, tournaments and education programs.Into the future, I'd like to utilise my experience in radio and MCing live events to do more hosting work in the Australian (and eventually global) esports scene.
