Angie has nearly 20 years of experience working across mental health, social justice, education, and tech. In a career that spans clinical psychology, criminal justice reform, affordable housing, refugee support, and business analysis, her work includes youth counseling and SEL with middle school, high school, and university students, building a residential alternative to incarceration program from the ground up, designing, managing, and evaluating social impact programs, and several years as an analyst in the tech industry. Angie received her Bachelor’s degree in Political Economy from UC Berkeley, and her Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from NDNU.

Angie’s personal and professional life have been marked by a fair amount of duality and contrast. She’s closely connected to both over-resourced and under-resourced communities. She’s worked with youth living in poverty, and youth surrounded by wealth. She’s spent days working in diverse spaces with diverse teams, only to return home to one of the most homogeneous counties in the world. She’s worked in large corporations, startup nonprofits, “unicorn” tech, and grassroots activism. Angie’s early years were stabilized by food, housing, and educational security and care, but disrupted by trauma and disorder. She knows privilege, and has experienced mistreatment. She’s struggled to reconcile the freedoms of being American, with the atrocities that freedom has been built on.

The breadth and depth of Angie’s education, work, and experience has lent itself to a wide lens, a fiercely open heart and mind, an ability to draw connections across diverse spaces and disciplines, and an appreciation for the vital doesn’t exist anywhere else light in everyone.
