Angie is grateful to live on the traditional and unceded territory of the Ktunaxa people, in the little town of Elkford, BC. She is a wife, mother, and Nana. Her youngest child, who is on the autism spectrum and has an intellectual delay, is what fuels her drive to be a voice and advocate to families and children with their own sets of diverse abilities.

In the past she has worked in group home settings, worked as a support worker, worked in behavioural intervention, working in an elementary school as an EA and ran a support group in her community for families with children with diverse abilities. She currently works in a local daycare as an Early Childhood Education Assistant. She is currently enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program with the goals to have an extra certification in Special Needs and Infant and Toddlers.

Angie believes that education and programs from a very young age up to adulthood that are inclusive not only help the individuals who need it to thrive and succeed, but also helps educate everyone on how to be inclusive to others in their own daily life – and just be a little more patient and kind.
