She rose to become a correspondent covering such stories as the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya, Hurricane Georges and the anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

She also anchored hours for Primetime: Nightline on Twin-tuition; on "extra-ordinary family" the Bates of Tennessee who have 18 biological kids; and on Mommywood, which featured interviews with celebrity moms Denise Richards and Tori Spelling.
Chang's hour-long 20/20 reports include an in-depth look at the impact on foreign adoptions gone wrong; the struggles of people with Albinism; and an intimate portrait of one family dealing with gender transition.
