Biography

Angela completed an Honours degree in Politics at the University of Adelaide and began her career as a researcher and reporter with ABC Television in her hometown of Adelaide. After three years, she was lured across to ABC television news in Melbourne in 1997, even though the sports reporting position didn’t fit in with her plans of becoming a political journalist. Within a few months she was presenting the sports segment at the 7pm News desk on weekends and then was promoted to weeknights alongside Ian Henderson.

She has also been a guest presenter on 774 ABC Radio, as well as a columnist and feature writer for the AFL Website and the Sunday Age. Angela is also the author of The Goddess Advantage – One Year in the Life of a Football Worshipper. She is working with a scriptwriter to develop the book into a television mini-series.

Angela was asked by the Australian Labor Party to stand for the Victorian seat of Williamstown, vacated by former Premier Steve Bracks in 2007, but she turned it down. In 2008, after more than ten years with ABC News as sports journalist and presenter, Angela joined Sport 927 as a breakfast co-host. It was the first time they had a male and female breakfast partnership on the radio station. [http://www.australianspeaker.com/cgi-bin/fsp.pl/x/austrn/speaker1383.html]
