At one point in her career, Angela spent 18 months working for the entertainment website CELEBTV, writing stories about Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears.
What do you like most about your job?
My vast background experiences enabled me to launch the fast-growing financial TV show Business First AM with an amazing crew I adore. Every job gave me the opportunity to learn new skills that I draw upon today. I once worked for a news director who took away the producer of a show I was anchoring. At first, I was devastated. But, it worked out for the best. I learned to produce and write a newscast at a fast pace.
What advice would you give students?
Stay open to everything! Don't let anyone define you. I encourage any budding journalists out there to hone their writing skills, develop a strong curiosity, and be persistent. We need you.
