Upon completion of her documentary thesis project for her Master of Journalism degree in 1998, she moved to New York to begin work as a desk assistant at the CNN bureau.

As a producer for "World News Tonight" she is based in New York but also spends a lot of time travelling to report on stories around the country. Ms Yeo has been nominated for three Emmy awards, two in News for Outstanding Coverage of a Breaking News Story in a Regularly Scheduled Newscast for her production work on the ABC News coverage of the Iraq elections and the tsunami.  She was also nominated for a Sports Emmy for Outstanding Edited Sports Special for her broadcasting work on The Thrill of Victory 2003: ABC Sports Year in Review.
