Angela has an extensive background in education. Upon receiving a Math for America fellowship, Angela worked as a high school mathematics teacher in a transfer school in Brooklyn, New York where she served over-age, under-credited teens who were receiving their last chance to graduate with a high school diploma. Interestingly, this is also where her passion for diversity, equity, and inclusion work began and was further fueled through her work at Grand Canyon University and Arizona State University.
Angela is a proud accomplished speaker, mentor, writer, artist, and perpetual student. Her current research focuses on healing through heritage craft engagement which is informed by her personal experience as a biracial Korean American and her exploration of intergenerational colonial trauma and healing after growing up in White America.
