Angela has loved learning about other cultures as long as she can remember. At the age of eight, she remembers her first pen pal from Trinidad, Tobago. She received and wrote many letters to her friend in Trinidad. She especially found the stamps on the outside of the letters fascinating. It was Angela’s home church that first fostered her interest in other cultures, including her love of traveling abroad.
In 1999, she participated in the study abroad program through the University of London. In 2001, she earned her B.S. degree from Mississippi College where she majored in Psychology and minored in English.

After returning to the U.S. in late 2001, she worked at Tracepointe Assisted Living as an Activity Director for the elderly. In 2003, Angela decided to become an educator and received her Educator’s License. She taught middle school for 10 years, while also earning her MBA at Belhaven University in Jackson, MS. In 2010, Angela decided she needed a bigger challenge, so she applied to law school. In 2013, she earned her J.D. from Mississippi College School of Law. Angela is an active member of the Mississippi Bar Association.
