From then on, she took up every opportunity to act in musicals, dramas, and classical productions. Her interest in Shakespearean productions in particular led her to train with SGCNZ's Young Shakespeare Company at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, London.In 2010, Angela moved to the U.S. to study at Duke University as a Robertson Scholar.
