There she reported on local and national cases, including the trial of surgeon Jayant Patel and former government minister Gordon Nuttall. During her time in Brisbane, Angie also covered the devastating floods of 2011 as a weather presenter. Her ongoing work as an investigative journalist also earned her a place among the finalists in the 2012 Clarion Awards.
Together, these experiences have helped Angie develop key skills as an accomplished MC, where she MC’d the launch of Emirates A380 in Brisbane, Leukaemia Foundation Gala Ball and Australian Turf Club Fashions on the Field. Currently, as an Ambassador for the children's charity 'Act for Kids', Angie regularly holds events to raise for this important cause.
