    Angela began her professional career as an SLP in 2011 working in a series of skilled nursing facilities that ranged in size from 25 beds to over 400 beds, including a dedicated long-term pediatrics wing. She worked with kids in both home health and school settings for a period, but pediatrics was not her calling. Her heart lies in adult neurological disorders. She has worked at Orlando Regional Medical Center for nearly 9 years in all settings: acute care, in-patient rehabilitation, and outpatient care working with patients and their families through challenging diagnoses such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, brain tumors, Parkinson’s Disease, spinal cord injuries (SCI), and other diseases, both common and rare. 

    In 2017 Angela was recruited by Dr. Janet Whiteside to the UCF Communication Disorders Clinic as an adjunct clinical instructor after a chance encounter at a conference in Tampa. Angela has been deeply touched by aphasia, stroke, head and neck cancer, and brain injury in both her professional life and her personal life as well. She continues to work at both UCF and ORMC, treating patients, and teaching graduate students, and she began her private practice in 2021 to reach families through education and support. Angela has been married to her husband Tim for 17 years and together they have 4 daughters.
