Miria holds a Masters in Creative Writing from Victoria University of Wellington's International Institute of Modern Letters and, with Hone Kouka, co-founder of Tawata Productions and Tawata Press.
In a review of her play Sunset Road, Ewen Coleman observed that it "weaves both reality and symbolism through the stories" but that it "initially comes across as languid and slow with little clarity in what is going on not helped by the unnatural delivery of the stilted dialogue".
