Her work has taken her around the globe including Costa Rica, Haiti, India, China and Nepal leading projects in agriculture, disaster risk reduction and women’s health.

Angela often shares an intimate portrait of her journey that illustrates how our past is threaded through our life, the choices we make and who we become. Her story asks us, even in the face of loss, to examine who we are and what we are meant to do.
She aims to show us what’s possible, even when it feels we are being asked to overcome some of our hardest challenges. She shares inspiring stories of those who have shaped her perspectives on resilience and leadership.
