Yale is a proud Kalkatungu, Australian South Sea Islander, and Scottish producer who is passionate about bringing stories captured through First Nations lenses to the screen.

​

With a career of 8 years at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Yale started with the ABC Regional and ABC Indigenous team, where she honed her storytelling skills before stepping up as an Executive Producer in the Entertainment team. There, Yale oversaw flagship entertainment shows and live broadcast events such as The Weekly, Mardi Gras, and First & Forever. Before departing the ABC, Yale co-directed Changing Tides. This half-hour documentary follows surfer and artist Billy Bain on a road trip along NSW's coastline, offering a glimpse into Australia’s colonial past and frontier injustices.
