Angie received her Bachelor’s degree in English from San Diego State University, but did not consider teaching as a profession until, after graduation, she started tutoring at Beckwourth Library in Southeast San Diego. It was there that a little boy and his parents referred to her as “teacher.” She knew immediately that working with young people and their families was her destiny. Since then, she has taught English to every level of high school students, secondary level reading, and been a tutor of writing and literacy to children of all ages. In 2007, Angie spent a summer teaching English at Sir Samuel Baker School in Gulu, Uganda, where her passion for social justice and equity was further fueled. She joined High Tech High in 2007 as a founding teacher of the Chula Vista campus. She was later Director at HTHCV, then Director of Emerging Multilingual Learning for HTH Schools, and now serves as the Instructional Coordinator of Language Acquisition at Logan Memorial Education Complex.
Angie received her MEd from the High Tech High’s Graduate School of Education, and her EdD from UCSD & CSUSM's joint doctoral program. She is excited to join HTH GSE’s faculty, supporting new teachers in developing best practices to ensure a rich, relevant, rigorous and empowering education to multilingual learners.
