Early life and career

Ang has an elder brother and a sister who is a year older than her.[2] Ang's mother is a secretary for a headhunting company and her father, a service manager in the automotive industry. Ang attended Canossa Convent Primary School and Saint Anthony's Canossian Secondary School, where she studied drama as one of the compulsory subjects in Secondary 1 and 2, and later continued to opt for it as an elective in upper secondary.

At an event at 313@somerset for the mall's mascot job, Ang was discovered by a photographer who would later referred her to the modelling agency, Nu Models, owned by local actress-model Sheila Sim. She was signed to the agency for about three years, before joining Mediacorp's Star Search 2019 at the agency's suggestion.[1] She emerged as a finalist in the competition and has since appeared in dramas such as All Around You (2020), Mister Flower (2020) and Watch Out! Alexius (2020). In 2021, she landed her first lead role in crime thriller Key Witness, alongside Desmond Tan and Denise Camillia Tan.[2][3][4][5]
