For over 20 years, Angie taught in early elementary to upper middle school classrooms. Her classroom served as a lab site for professional learning on effective literacy instruction. As a teacher leader in the district, Angela led in-service workshops, and mentored and coached colleagues including those new to the profession. Prior to joining Jennifer Serravallo’s team, she was a staff national consultant for another organization.

Early in her career, Angela earned a master's degree from Teachers College, Columbia University in Curriculum and Teaching. Angela then went on to receive National Board Certification. In pursuit of becoming a full time literacy coach, Angela earned a second master’s degree from TC’s Literacy Specialist Program. Currently, she is a doctoral student in the Teacher Education and Teacher Development program at Montclair State University. Angela’s research interest lies at the intersection of culturally responsive teaching, linguistic diversity, and developing teachers’ sociolinguistic consciousness. Angela believes that teaching from a social justice stance is an ethical and moral imperative.

In her free time Angela loves to read, write, meditate, and spend time with her husband and children.
