Sasha grew up across the Tablelands, fostering a lifelong passion for wildlife and the natural world. She has worked with animals of all kinds from big and small, domestic and wild, with her dedication to wildlife leading her to work alongside inspiring professionals in the field of wildlife education, where the spark for wildlife education ignited. Sasha holds a Bachelor of Science with majors in Zoology and Ecology with many memories made and amazing experiences in her uni time. In January 2025, she and her partner Joseph fulfilled a dream by purchasing Roaming Wild, where they continue to share their love for wildlife with the community.
Joseph is a true Cairns local, happiest when he’s working behind the scenes — but don’t be surprised if you spot him at events, usually with Waru the cockatoo perched proudly on his shoulder. When he’s not wrangling wildlife with the team, he’s busy as a skilled fitter and turner, and an all-star dad to Roaming Wild’s littlest wildlife handler, Brodie. Joseph and Sasha share a huge love for the outdoors, and any chance they get, you’ll find them off camping, fishing, or tackling new 4WDtracks with family and friends in tow.
When Mia isn’t busy smashing out her final year of high school, you’ll find her in her happy place — surrounded by the Roaming Wild crew and their amazing animals. She’s a natural with all the wildlife, but she and Waru have an extra-special bond… which makes things a bit competitive for Waru’s ‘best mate’ title — watch your back, Joey! When she’s not wrangling reptiles and feathered friends or studying, Mia’s at homewith her gorgeous kelpie, Nova, who’s no doubt wondering why her human keepscoming home smelling like a zoo!
Brodie is Roaming Wild’s youngest wildlife handler — and at just four years old, he’s already stealing the show! Whether he’s helping feed the animals, packing gear, or proudly introducing everyone to his favourite scaly mate, Prada the saltwater crocodile, Brodie is never far from the action. He might be a bit too small to run the shows (fornow!), but this little wildlife enthusiast is well on his way to becomingRoaming Wild’s next big star.
Originally a researcher, Miriam has studied and worked in a number of different countries, before she found the perfect place to raise her family in tropical Far North Queensland. She absolutely loves playing with the Roaming Wild animals and teaching others about them. Miriam loves all animals, but if she had to choose a favorite, she'd say Turtles & the weird & wonderful! If you want to dig deeper, ask her how animals sense this world and she won’t hesitate showing you how limited humans are compared to the critters around us.
