ABOUT
Triana is always OUT IN FRONT.Since 2018, Triana has been a respected presence of the Oceanic gaming and esports communities, with one underlying ethos: "leave it better than you found it".She started out in the online creative space streaming on Twitch, focusing on playing fast, bold, and colourful games with a community that values diversity, kindness, and good humour.Now, as a respected broadcaster, host, and personality, Triana creates story arcs that cross over from the digital to the physical world, spanning public events and online platforms.When it comes to games, Triana prefers creativity and escapism over gritty realism, and games that can be played in shorter rounds rather than lengthy continuous gameplay. Growing up playing racing games like Project Gotham Racing and Mario Kart, she now enjoys games like Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport, Pokémon UNITE, Fortnite, Rocket League, and Splatoon 3.When she's not playing games or screaming for a team in an esports arena, Triana enjoys graphic design, listening to music and podcasts, and encouraging those around her to be the best versions of themselves.
WORK WITH TRIANA
Triana is available for hire for freelance projects and for ongoing work.With her years of professional broadcasting, she could host your broadcast or in-person event, as she did with Maybelline New York's Under The Avatar creator tournament in 2024.Triana is adept at leading interviews — perhaps you need an experienced interviewer to draw the stories out of your esports players in content pieces, or you'd like to give your players a chance to practice being interviewed, while running through tips to make sure they're representing your org to the full. Triana can help with that.A key element of Triana's work in the talent development space is confidence building. Helping talent hone their craft, showcase their personality, refine their focus on storytelling, and still feel comfortable in front of a camera or on stage is an artform Triana has developed from years of work in broadcasting. She's open to work with creators of all sizes and skill levels who are interested in developing their presentation and public speaking skills, as well as helping develop ideas, work through creative blocks, and refine your own authentic, unique presenting style.Outside of gaming and esports, you can find other ways to work with Triana here.

OUT IN FRONT ▷
OUT IN FRONT is Triana's natural state. Equal parts affirmation and statement of intent, it has a triple meaning:🏁 OUT IN FRONT 🏁When you're leading a race, you're out in front. In first place, the other racers look to you to see what they could do differently to be just that little bit faster on the next lap.
Always an innovator, Triana is passionate about being a leading example of creative expression, inclusion, and personality-led content. (Plus, she really likes winning the race.)🎤 OUT IN FRONT 🎤Having been a broadcaster on radio, television, and the internet since she was in high school, and having presented in venues large and small along the way, Triana is more than comfortable out in front of a crowd.
Constantly keeping the viewer experience top of mind, her unique combination of skills and experience gives Triana the ability to lead conversations with just about anybody with confidence, warmth, and good humour.🌈 OUT IN FRONT 🌈An out-and-proud queer trans woman, Triana proudly stands for inclusion in the gaming and esports space across intersectional identities, and always tries to ensure those who aren't familiar with the LGBTQIA+ communities are afforded the same grace and kindness she was offered when she first came out and sought queer community.
One of the leading queer broadcasters in the country, Triana has hosted podcasts for rainbow organisations like LGBTIQ+ Health Australia and Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
