Welcome back to YC Bytes!

In this episode, we meet Nina – our host for season 2 – and get to know Lua, a young carer and artist studying Fine Arts/Arts majoring in Indigenous Studies at the University of NSW. Listen to Lua and CEO of Carers NSW, Elena Katrakis, chat about Lua's caring role, passion for art, the achievements she is most proud of, and more!
