I was raised on Pihun Island, west of Manus Island Province, and developed a deep love for observing nature. My early education spanned Pililu SDA Primary School, Amik Primary School, and Papitalai Secondary School. I later completed certificates in Biology and ICT, culminating in a 2018 graduation from PNGUNITECH with two diplomas in ICT and Sysco Networking.

In 2013, I joined 'Last Empire Media Production Inc.' focusing on live streaming and audio for major outdoor evangelistic events. This sparked my passion for video and photography, leading to my role as Technical Production Director from 2015 to 2021.

In 2017, I founded my media company, 'Soliyan Media Production' (meaning 'NICE' in my language). While I trained in various educational fields, my true passion lies in capturing people and places through video and photography, communicating messages and stories to the world through my lens.
