TV career

After completing her studies, Grace was recruited by SCTV and became a presenter on its flagship news show Liputan 6. In her early years as a television journalist, she covered crime, politics, business and other current affairs. She said it was difficult to adapt to the highly dynamic world of television with unpredictable working hours. But that did not dampen her spirit, and she gradually fell in love with the world of journalism. Within three years, she moved to ANTV and then to tvOne.[5]
