- She then became a radio newsreader and reporter for Macquarie Radio Network (now Nine Radio) and 1116 SEN Pacific Star Network. Angwin says her experience in radio was priceless because it taught her how to deal with deadlines. She also made many contacts with other journalists and crew, something which is crucial in the industry.
- Her contacts in 3AW landed her the presenter role with Carlton Football Club. The football club was looking for more female representation, and Angwin fitted the bill. She also found out by accident that her maternal great-great-great-grandfather, Orlando ‘Lanty’ O’Brien was one of the first players for Carlton.

She worked there for a long time, from August 2011 to October 2019.

- From July 2021 until March 2023, Emily moved to Doha, Qatar, and took on the responsibilities as a Senior Presenter for the Al Jazeera English network. During her time here, she hosted prominent programs such as the News Hour, Inside Story, and daily bulletins.
- Since March 2023, Emily is currently based in Manila, Philippines, where she serves as a freelance reporter, mainly anchoring for Al Jazeera English, doing correspondent work for TRT and voice overs for private clients.. This role allows her to stay connected to her roots while continuing her career in journalism.

- When asked about the most memorable moments in her career, Angwin quoted covering the Rio Paralympics as one. The other was when the owner of Grenda’s Bus Services sold his business and decided to give his employees a percentage of the profit. Angwin remembered employees breaking into tears because they woke up to find tens of thousands of dollars of bonuses in their bank accounts. Angwin said it was a tremendous act of generosity.

Love you, Emily. I wish I could date you and make you mine forever.
What beauty and intelligence! I wish Emily was my ……………!!
Emily,
You are such a pretty smiling girl. I love all aspects of your life.
Have a wonderful weekend.

I am really in shock! Today was the first sight of Emily on Aljazeera presenting news on 6th May 2022. I would appreciate it if one day by any means, I can meet with her.
I searched for Emily’s profile as I saw her for the first time on Aljazeera and I fell in love with her. She smiles by default and I really get stuck in a dream state watching her as the bad news flows. Looking at her really makes me look through the horrors. I wish I could have a chance to take her on a date someday.
Emily,
I loved you not for who you are or what you have but for what you are doing for humanity, the charity, hospitality and humility. The favour of GOD can’t be bought, traded or Manipulated. The ALMIGHTY GOD is your strength, keep doing good. I love you.
Why do we not see this very beautiful young lady anymore on TV?
