Foua Mia was cast in a supporting role for the 2019 short film Our Father - Lo Matou Tamā, one of six short films chosen by Jane Campion as finalists at the NZIFF. This experience sparked her interest in acting. Since then, she has been honing her craft at Pt Chevalier Drama Club. Foua Mia also played a supporting role in the 2023 short film Teine, which screened at the Hawaiian International Film Festival as well as various festivals in New Zealand. Outside of acting, she plays water polo, swims, and loves performing Kapa Haka. Educated in te reo Māori, Foua Mia is the first generation since her great-grandmother to speak the language and treasures this privilege.
