Short Bio:
Angela is an Iowa native but continues to call different countries and states home. After being evacuated from the Peace Corps during COVID, she moved to Spain to complete her Masters and teach English. Looking for new opportunities, and to connect with family, she moved back to the USA and has been working in the Education Abroad office since 2024. In this role, she aims to help students find ways to maximize their own global experiences and discover the world outside of Texas like she did. When she is not traveling, she enjoys going to concerts, dancing salsa and bachata, and lounging on the beach.
