In 2023, she was the English commentator for Singapore's National Day Parade, the nation's birthday celebration broadcast to millions at home and abroad on Mediacorp TV channels and digital platforms. A sought-after voiceover artist, Angela has also worked with organisations such as Singapore's Land Transport Authority, Ministry of Manpower and various MNCs.

Before her career in broadcast journalism, Angela spent two years reporting and writing in a digital newsroom as one of the pioneer members of its editorial team, while at the same time studying for her Bachelor's degree in Political Science. 

Outside work, Angela is passionate about many social causes including mental health awareness and migrant worker welfare. She spent seven years on the Board of Directors of local charity, Silver Ribbon Singapore. 

In her free time, you'll find Angela exploring the world through travel, expanding her horizons by reading books and listening to podcasts, challenging herself with high-intensity workouts and staying grounded with meditation.
