Angela started her career with helping people with disabilities 16 years ago in a nursing home in Texas, where she was born and raised. Her compassion of working with Developmental Disabled Adults has been with her since her teenage years of working and coaching Special Olympics and working with charitable events such as dances and fundraisers for people with disabilities. Angela was honored with the "Outstanding Effort on Behalf of Adults with Disabilities Award" through the ARC of Eau Claire.

Angela is a native of Texas, where she met and married her husband of 15 years, who shares the same compassion for disabled adults as she does. She has made Wisconsin her home for 11 years. When Angela is not working, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She is a mother of two children, with one starting college years and another battling the middle school drama. In her leisure time, she enjoys listening to her husband’s band play throughout the Chippewa Valley and being outdoors, four wheeling, camping, and fishing with her family. Angela has a strong heart for animals as well, and enjoys her miniature dash hound, Brutus.
