Deepening and nurturing our inner and outer relationship with the natural world moves Angela towards the work of collective impact and its intersection with equitable outdoor access. For five years, Angela directed and evaluated Nature Kids/Jóvenes de la Naturaleza, a community-scale collective impact effort focused on equitable access to the outdoors.

She currently lives on the unceded lands of the Nuchu (Utes), Abáachi (Jicarilla Apaches), Numunu (Comanches), Ka’igwu (Kiowas), InunaIna (Arapahoe), Tsistsistas (Cheyenne), Diné (Navajo Nation), and Pueblo People in what has been colonized as the San Luis Valley in the high mountain desert of south-central Colorado, where she is building an off-grid sustainable home called an “earthship” and coming into deep relationship with place.

Angela is the author of a book of poetry, SPIRIT: A Dance of Poetry, is a sanctioned and initiated teacher of ceremonial arts with The Heart of The Healer Mystery School, and a loving companion with her career-changed guide dog, Wyclef. Angela is fully fluent in Spanish.
