Previous experience
ABC: Deborah accepted a position with the ABC where she further secured a reputation as a serious journalist within the industry. Her ability to quickly grasp new subject matter was quickly noticed and the national broadcaster utilised her talents across a variety of roles from rural reporting to Triple J, followed by the prestigious AM and breakfast program on Radio National.
Politics: From radio to television Deborah's first role as a presenter and reporter was with the much-loved ABC TV show Landline. Deborah's work, specifically interviewing the Prime Minister, caught the eye of TEN political editor Paul Bongiorno which in turn set the wheels in motion for a move to commercial television.

Deborah headed up TEN's US Bureau based in Los Angeles for three years, covering world changing stories including September 11, the re-election of George W Bush and the Iraq War. Deborah returned to Australia in November 2004 and became co-anchor of Sydney's Ten News at Five Bulletin in January 2006.
