Weekdays, Angela teams up with Bruce McAllister to anchor the Global Calgary Morning News.
Born in Eastend, Saskatchewan and growing up in Swift Current. Angela decided to venture west to Alberta, were she completed her post secondary education in Broadcasting at S.A.I.T.
Beginning her career at a radio station in Nanaimo, British Columbia (CHUB Radio), Angela decided to change gears and explore television. Angela has been involved in Calgary’s broadcasting community for almost twenty years. For ten years she’s been the “roving reporter” for the Global News Morning Edition.
Angela also admits that her favorite time of the day is definitely not 3:00 am when she wakes up, but more like 4:00 pm when her kids are home and she can share time with them.

Angela has fond memories of some of her most memorable career moments: announcing to the morning show audience that I was pregnant with my second child by doing a live hit at an ultrasound lab; performing in the Mexican Circus; doing live hits from the top of the Calgary tower and clipping a horses hooves at Heritage Park.
Favorite movies: “Gone With The Wind” – as a young teen I saw it for the first time (obviously it had been out for several years) and I fell in love with Clark Gable, then my mother burst my bubble when she told me he had passed away many years ago.
Favorite TV shows: Old show: “Mary Tyler Moore” / Current show: “Will and Grace”.
Favorite books: I love Canadian writers especially focusing on the east coast “Colony of Unrequited Dreams” by Wayne Johnston … Navigator of New York.
Favorite person: My mom, who passed away in 1983 and was/ still is a huge influence in my life. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of her and her values.
Favorite charity: Alzheimer Society
