Before this, Angela worked for the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) as the Director of Field Operations, where her chief responsibilities were grassroots organizing, state strategy, and capacity building within progressive faith communities.

Before joining the team at RCRC, Angela worked for Community Change where she played an integral role in immigrant youth leadership projects, as well as the Community Voting Project. She is passionate about movement building, and empowering the next generation of leaders. With a background in political and social sciences, Angela began her journey into the world of social justice through many volunteer opportunities with particular interest in women’s rights, civil rights, the LGBT community, immigration, racial justice and education.
