Following high school, Liana studied a Bachelor of Business with a major in international tourism and hotel management and a minor in event management. Her first role in the industry was with Con-X-ion Airport Transfers as the Business Development Manager which entailed managing marketing campaigns and developing new business partnerships. Liana then moved to marketing roles in Tourism and Events Queensland initially as the Partnerships Specialist - Outback and Country Queensland then as the Senior Advisor for International and Western Markets.
In 2019, Liana took off overseas and spent the next two years in Canada in a variety of roles including bartender, guest services agent, reservations coordinator, administrator and receptionist.
Returning to Queensland in 2021, Liana joined Mackay Isaac Tourism where she developed new tourism products and experiences for the region.
