What Angela Does:

As a program officer, Angela will be supporting the education area within the Program Department. She will support the scholarship process and workflow of both Challenge Scholars and General Scholarships.

She is looking forward to centering her work around student voices to lead equity-based action based on lived experiences of community members.

She also co-led and co-founded the Middle School Mentoring Steering Committee and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee at Affinity.
