From 2013 to 2018, Angela was employed by the Wilkes Pregnancy Care Center in Wilkesboro, North Carolina, a nonprofit women’s center dedicated to providing services, education, and support to the local community at no cost. During her time there, she served as Director of the Lifeguard Education Program, a relational education initiative that provided instruction to middle and high school students throughout the county. This experience strengthened her passion for education and community resources through seeing the impact of accessible information and prevention-based programming. Working at the Wilkes Pregnancy Care Center also provided years of experience in crisis-pregnancy advocacy and the facilitation of parenting classes.

Through Willow Hope, Angela’s mission is to create a safe and supportive place where individuals and families can find hope, practical help, and compassionate care. Her long term-goal is to develop Willow Hope into a place where a team of skilled men and women can work together to serve the unique needs of the community and expand access to support and resources.

Angela lives on a farm near Leon with her husband Caleb and their two boys, Jesse and Ty. Angela loves spending time with her family and pouring into the vision of the Willow Hope Center. When she isn’t doing that, she loves riding horses, barrel racing, hunting, singing/playing guitar, working out, drinking coffee, and striving to love Jesus with all of her heart!
