Angie was born in Ohio, and grew up in Atlanta. She came to Shanghai out of a spirit of curiousity and adventure a year and a half ago, and found that while nothing is easy in China, anything is possible.

She attended Vassar College in New York and obtained a degree in Psychology, which she gainfully employed in 2 completely un-related fields: Media and Design. In New York, she worked for a literary imprint of Doubleday, Nan A. Talese, and also as a publicist for Clarkson Potter, another Random House imprint. She also helped launch Rugged Land Books. In San Francisco, she cleverly disguised herself as an Interior Designer, and found she was actually quite good at it.

When she's not dissing pushy taxi-stealers, eating some fried sticky thing on Shanghai's streets, or getting her eyes poked out by moody make-up artists, Angie likes to learn Chinese, create fashion disasters at the fabric market and literally rejoices after watching a good movie.

Angie is a News Anchor and Copyeditor for a subsidiary of Shanghai Television Group, DragonTV.
