Angela Martini was born in Shkoder, Albania during a time of political instability as communism started to dissolve in the region. Her early childhood was plagued by kidnapping attempts, neighborhood violence, and at one point, a short stay in a refugee camp. Concerned for her safety, Angela's mother sent her to Switzerland to live with her father at the age of ten. After leaving Albania, she would go on to live a lonely childhood, often feeling neglected and isolated from the outside world. During these years, Angela dreamed of building a better life--a dream that often seemed impossibly out of reach. At the age of 21, in hopes of pursuing a professional modeling career, Angela boarded a one-way flight to Miami. The very next day, she was signed by Front Management Agency in Miami, and only 3 months later, by Elite Model Management New York--one of the world's premier modeling agencies. She quickly started booking campaigns with retail giants such as JCPenney and Macy's. In 2010, Angela was crowned Miss Universe Albania. A few weeks later, without a hairstylist or makeup artist, she placed sixth in the Miss Universe pageant, the highest finish for any Miss Albania in history. This platform catapulted her to celebrity status throughout Europe and allowed her to cement a successful modeling career. To date, she has been featured in GQ, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Maxim, and Esquire, to name a few. Throughout the years, Angela has had various business ventures, including the building of a successful swimwear line that was featured in major events such as Miami Fashion Week. Despite the glitz and glamour that surrounds her, Angela's outlook on life has evolved. She is focused on transforming herself into a person that reveals her soul and deep sense of spirituality. Through her movie production debut in 2020, with the short films Fusion and A Way Out, Angela combines fantasy, spirituality, and humanity to piece together complex themes into cohesive narratives. In her memoir "Love. Hope. Light." she commands the attention of the reader through her vulnerability, but at the same time, her resounding strength. She reveals an intimate part of herself through her life experiences and the difficult lessons she learned along the way. Those lessons--some more painful than others--combined with her mother being the outstanding role model that she was, is what molded Angela into the incredible woman she is today. The lived experiences revealed in this book inspired her to become a certified life coach in 2017. In love with her new path, Angela hopes to look beyond the vanities of this world and looks forward to writing the next chapter of her life--one that will certainly take the world by storm.

Welcome Back to Career Stories Season 3. 

Michael is doggedly curious about the lives of others, and is passionate about reaching new audiences craving deeply-reported, long-form storytelling captured with cinematic style. Since joining ABC10, he has brought his viewers on journeys to places like Afghanistan, the US/Mexico border, Puerto Rico, and into California’s deadliest wildfires, telling the stories of those threatened by war, natural disaster, political repression, and gang violence. His ability to produce, report on-camera, shoot cinema-quality visuals, write, and edit his documentaries have allowed him to work using a small footprint and gain exclusive access to subjects who may have otherwise turned away bigger crews.

In 2019, Michael won four Emmy Awards, including outstanding achievement in the documentary category for his film, “Afghanistan: What is Winning?”, which he solely produced, filmed, and edited. The documentary examined how, after 17 years of war, President Donald Trump’s South Asia strategy was playing out on the ground, the impact the war has had on both Afghan civilians and Americans back home, and the future of U.S. involvement in the country.

In 2018, he won three Emmys, including outstanding achievement in video journalism; as directory of photography for the documentary “Puerto Rico Rises”; and as a reporter in the ABC10 special “Embedded: Northern California Wildfires”. “Puerto Rico Rises” also won the Walter Cronkite Award for Enterprise storytelling. Michael was also part of a team of four reporters awarded a Regional Edward R. Murrow for their coverage of California’s wildfires in 2017.

Before joining ABC10, Michael worked as a multimedia breaking news reporter for The Indianapolis Star from 2013-2016. Using innovative digital reporting techniques, he elevated the paper to the number one source of breaking crime news in the city. To accompany many of his stories, he produced breaking news videos and short documentaries for the paper's digital audience, one of which screened at the Indiana Black Expo Film Festival in 2016. He also used his role as a breaking news reporter to launch several long-form projects, including an examination of the police department’s crisis intervention team, the state’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis, and an investigation into the treatment of female prisoners suffering from mental health issues.

Michael has also frequently produced, shot, and edited video packages for AJ+, Al Jazeera’s digital news vertical.

Additional print, photo and video work have appeared in The New York Times, USA Today, The Atlantic, Reuters, The Weather Channel, Chicago Social Magazine, Denver’s Westword, The Lexington Herald-Leader, The Louisville Courier-Journal, Newcity and more.

Michael was born in Detroit, MI, and raised in its suburbs. After a short stint in Los Angeles nursing an unsuccessful acting career, he moved to Boston and received his bachelor's degree in print and multimedia journalism from Emerson College. When he’s not writing or behind the camera for work, he’s often traveling the world with his fiancé, albeit still behind the camera.
