She was also a lifelong resident of Hoopa, Ca. Angela was a graduate of Hoopa Elementary and Hoopa Valley High School. She attended the College of the Redwoods and was pursuing a degree in nursing studies. Her ultimate career goals were to be a journalist and a creative writer, as she was a proficient writer and excelled at creating stories, composing poetry, and drawing as she was an extremely artistic person. She was first employed at the Kim Yerton Memorial Library, which she loved because she was an avid reader of books and had a large personal library of her own. She then worked for the Two River's Tribune Newspaper, writing articles & stories for certain community events. She excelled and loved her employment for the newspaper, and continued to be a supporting writer sporadically throughout the year.
