With more than 15 years of local and international media experience, Ange Takats is one of the most qualified communicators on the Sunshine Coast.

She began her career as a television producer for Sky News Australia after obtaining a BA in Communications from Charles Sturt University. She went on to become a producer and reporter for Channel Nine in Sydney, filing stories for the Today Show and morning news bulletins.

By far the most exciting time of her broadcast career came when she was offered a job as a television field producer for the Reuters News Agency in Bangkok. Ange spent two years covering stories throughout Thailand and south east Asia – interviewing prime ministers, prostitutes, ethnic rebels and AIDS patients. She is one of only a handful of journalists to be granted an interview with Burmese Democracy Leader Aung San Suu Kyi when she was briefly released from house arrest in Yangon.

Following her time in television, Ange took up a corporate job with one of Australia’s largest public relations firms – CPR Communications in Sydney. She spent a year within the company, working with clients such as AV Jennings, the University of Western Sydney, law firm Sparke Helmore, Compass Catering and National Smile Day.

Ange currently resides on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast where she works as a freelance communications consultant and writer. Over the past few years she has helped a number of national and coast-based clients including Lend Lease Prime Life Retirement Resorts, Noosa Hospital, Queensland Events, Tourism Noosa and the Noosa Longweekend Festival.
