My Story
Miriam Fairhead
Hello from the world of Beyond the Pacific! Thanks for dropping in, whether as a returning friend or for the first time.
There’s no claim of being a guru of any sort or to offer advice of any kind, purely sharing from a diverse well of knowledge and experiences, pulled together from many years and areas of expertise, in a format that I love most: writing!
I’m Miriam Fairhead (née Ratu) and it is my sincere wish that blogs, vlogs, poetry and podcasts shared through this Beyond the Pacific space will resonate with you and that you may leave here better than when you first arrived – maybe with a smile or had an a-ha moment; and I have no doubt you may disagree with some content shared.

OUR MISSION:
1. To share smart and uplifting content through blogs, vlogs, poetry and podcasts;

Me in a Nutshell
- My happy places are being in the great outdoors with my wonderful hubby, drinking tea with our creative daughter and cuddling our 2 fluffy Ragdoll cats called Cleo and Patra.
- I graduated from Bond University with a Bachelor of Business degree and am halfway through a deferred Bachelor of Laws to be revisited in near future.
- What keeps me busy is being Probe Group‘s Business Systems Manager where I have found my happy-career place whilst professionally growing in the quality auditing space.
- Being a part of the social and environmental solution for the South Pacific region urged me to start a project called the South Pacific Mega Mall, connecting online Pasifika merchants with shoppers and consumers from around the world; I’m excited to relaunch SPMM in 2023.
- My fashion label, House of Ratu, fuses traditional “tapa” prints with a modern professional twist; I will be relaunching my online store in 2023.
Thank you for stopping by. Come join me in going above and Beyond the Pacific! Miri.
