and proudly produced her own shows at Gasworks Theatre, Lay Me Down to Sleep
and went on to do main roles in shows like Neighbours and Eugenie Sandler on the ABC
followed by 2 fabulous years as a host for NOVA Radio in Perth.

Her experience in the TV industry has resulted in a range of amazing opportunities off camera
as well as on camera. After the passing of her 35-year-old Brother from a Heart Defect
Niika became more involved in philanthropy. Living in India for two years working
with homeless children, Niika created her own charity organisation: “The Mateship Program”
which was successfully introduced into schools around Australia.
During her time spent living in India Niika became a Yoga and Meditation teacher
as well as a NLP therapist. Niika has ambitious plans for her future, and now in 2021
is working tirelessly to produce her first feature documentary, which shines a light on people
suffering from Neurodiversity and showcases how these people find a place in society
that is full of hope and meaning. “It’s an absolute honour to now be part of
The Shaun Miller Foundation, I hope to also carry my brothers legacy into the work we do here
and to make both my brother and Shaun proud of how we help other families
experiencing the tradgedy of congenital heart illnesses” Niika remarks in regards to collaborating with the Foundation, an Australian foundation that focuses on ‘mending broken hearts’
offering support, education and care for patients and families faced with cardiac problems.
