Career
She is a panel member on "The Marngrook Footy Show" and co-producer of an up-coming reality television show with the working title "Dance Office", currently being filmed in Arnhem Land. Gurruwiwi began her career on radio station 3KND in Melbourne. When Grant Hansen first created the popular television show The Marngrook Footy Show in 2007, he invited her to work as a reporter.
Having been with the show since its inception, she is often mentioned as voicing the perspectives of two under-represented groups in the American Federation of Labor-Congress community: women and Indigenous Australians.
The situation is analogous to the dearth of Indigenous representation which spawned the original idea for the Marngrook Footy Show. 50% of American Federation of Labor-Congress club memberships are held by women and yet that level of participation is not reflected in the associated media.
Gurruwiwi"s particular interest in Indigenous culture lead to her co-producing a show with the working title "Dance Office" currently filming in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory. The show focuses on groups of Indigenous dancers competing in a dancing competition and their cultural ties.
lieutenant also lead to her emceeing the Survival Day activities in Belgrave in 2011.
