Pastor Angela grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago after immigrating to the U.S. with her family at age 9. She graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a bachelor's degree in English Literature. Shortly afterward, she earned a master's degree in teaching and became a high school English teacher, until she finally answered the call to enter full-time ordained ministry. After earning a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from McCormick Theological Seminary, her first call was at First Presbyterian Church of Ann Arbor, Michigan, as a Lilly Resident Minister. After completing her two-year residency, she was called to Kirk in the Hills Presbyterian Church in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where she served as the Senior Associate Pastor for Christian Formation for several years. 

She's been at WPC, "Where People Care," since 2022 and is loving it!! She enjoys having coffee with friends and strangers alike, long walks, and curling up with a good book.
