After finishing her university degree in business, Able worked mainly in the hotel and restaurant industry until she decided to move to Thailand with her husband. Able's run into television and films all seemed to be a planned coincidence and good luck as her first chance in television started while attending a party where she was asked to screen test as lead anchor. Soon she realized her talent in mass communication and broadcast media as a TV Host and MC. She was later discovered for a film role when the casting director of The Marine II being filmed in Phuket saw her airing in a hotel lobby. Able is anchoring on National Broadcasting Thailand (NBT) in Phuket for Andaman News as well as the TV Host for Window on Thailand: Andaman Series which is aired in the NBT TV Network, Suvarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok), and Satellite TV under the supervision of the Public Relations Department of the Royal Thai Government. Able also MC many public and private events in Thailand as well as been featured in numerous articles. She is also the founder of AW PR & Marketing Phuket, a public relations and marketing company.
She worked every position possible at a restaurant such as waitress, hostess, kitchen help, dish washer, manager and cook, because her parents owned a Chinese Restaurant.
