Angela was born outside of New Orleans, LA, and spent her childhood in Louisiana, Central California, and San Antonio, Tx. She has always been a dreamer (with a healthy dose of realism) drawn to music, theater, culinary arts, poetry, and anything and everything “strange,” esoteric and “not normal.” As a child she was deeply sensitive, and had a fascination with human behavior and relationship with others at a very young age. Her mind was always hungry, and her heart always seeking, and music was the thread. She went to Belmont University in Nashville, TN to study Music Business and Recording Technology while working as a production and casting assistant for CMT/MTV & a Hostess at Jazz Club. Angela left for the big wild city of Los Angeles, CA where she spent years combining and cultivating all of her passions into a fun, multi faceted, successful life. She attended Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School, worked  in a handful of restaurants, eventually shifting to private chef work, and ending up as the chef at a teen rehab center in Malibu. This is where she realized that cooking was more than the Micheline Star and the famous chef..it was about nourishing and bringing people together. Food and communion was medicine.  

Angela continued her work in production as a Producer on many reality tv shows including Million Dollar Listing NY, Real Housewives of New Jersey, My Diet is Better Than Yours, and many others. Although it was an exhilarating, fast paced, and exciting job, it revealed to her a whole new level of human behavior, toxic work environments, and the grueling and cutthroat life of Hollywood. This was an epic study on the psychology of fame, unhealed trauma, and poor communication.  In 2007 she booked an incredible voice over job in Disney’s Tinkerbell, and was the voice of Fawn Fairy. That led to working with DreamWorks on How to Train Your Dragon, multiple video games, toys, tv shows, and commercials.  

Angela lived a full life, and was always juggling multiple projects, events, and personal growth. Through all of the glimmer and facade of successes, there was always a desire to go deeper, to understand life and herself more. That calling to learn, to connect, and to share grew stronger every year. She was always in a class, workshop, reading, practicing or studying different religions, philosophies, theories of the Universe, neuroscience, health and fitness, psychology, mysticism, sound healing, alternative medicine, psychedelics, and ancient wisdom.   

After a life altering spiritual awakening in 2015, it was time for change. It took a few years learning to operate with a new perspective and awareness, but in 2018 after 15 years in LA, Angela moved to Blanco, TX where she took time to rest and reconnect with her mission and purpose. She continued her studies and practices of alternative medicine, food, and healing, and began developing an idea for a Culinary School for kids with a focus on health and wellness from the soil and soul.  She met Ethan in 2019 who was planning on leaving public education and starting a nature school. It was divine timing and an instant connection. Their mission began. Ethan took a Principal position in Lockhart and Angela opened a Wellness Haven with her sister Allison, providing alternative healing modalities, events, herbal medicine, and retail. After having their son, their mission got more real, more important and urgent than ever. Observing the world around them, they knew there had to be a better way to educate and guide our children. Combining their dreams, skills, experience, and devotion, almost 6 years later, the dream is coming full circle with Apogee School of Life.
