Angela is a native of Lexington, Kentucky, whose legal career has been dedicated to public service. In 2015, Angela was elected as the 6th District Councilmember on the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council, where she served just prior to her arrival at Princeton. With a degree in social work, Angela was compelled to serve on the city’s Homelessness Prevention and Intervention Board upon her inauguration. She was recently elected as Chairperson of the Program Evaluation Committee, charged with recommending programs to receive city funds, and evaluating the services and outcomes for citizens in need. Enthusiastic about civics, Angela also implemented the first Youth Citizens Academy in Lexington’s public school system.

Angela began her legal career as a public defender, representing indigent criminal defendants. She later served as General Counsel to Kentucky’s Secretary of State and was responsible for ensuring candidates for office correctly submitted documentation and that election laws were properly administered by county officials. Continuing her interest in advising government agencies, she continued to ensure state laws and regulations were unbiased, well-defined and administered equally throughout the Commonwealth as an Assistant Attorney General of Kentucky. Angela expanded her work into the international community, contributing to two United Nations Criminal Justice Handbooks. At Princeton, she is eager to learn more about international relations and their impact on local governments.
