Radio and television

Freedman launched her career in 2010 as a weather presenter on Weekend Today, eventually sharing presenting responsibilities on Today. She was a frequent contributor to the Nine Network's coverage of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival and took on roles as a sports presenter for both Wide World of Sports and Weekend Today. In December 2014, she was among those made redundant by Nine Network due to budget reductions.

In 2015, Freedman claimed victory in the fifteenth season of Dancing with the Stars. That same January, she began co-hosting The Scoopla Show on the Hit Network and later transitioned into the role of national drive news presenter. By February 2016, she renewed her contract with Southern Cross Austereo, taking on hosting duties for Hit 30 and Take 40 Australia across the Hit Network. In October 2016, Freedman shifted to Triple M Sydney where she co-hosted The Grill Team.

Returning to Nine Network in March 2016, Freedman resumed hosting responsibilities for Wide World of Sports, and in March 2017, she was appointed as the host of Sports Sunday. She expanded her presenting portfolio in March 2018 by joining Foxtel's Fox League channel.

Freedman officially became part of Seven Sport in 2021, initially hosting the 7mate broadcast for the Tokyo Olympics. By October that year, she was fronting Seven’s horse racing coverage in Sydney. Since then, Freedman has established herself as a vital contributor to Seven Sport’s broadcasts, covering events such as the Winter Olympics, Commonwealth Games, cricket matches, AFL Brownlow Medal & Grand Final, and V8 Supercars.
