Her experience includes representing clients before U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, immigration courts, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as working with the National Visa Center, U.S. consulates, and immigration detention facilities.

Born and raised in the Jackson, Mississippi area, Angela developed an interest in other cultures early in life. At age eight, she began exchanging letters with a pen pal in Trinidad and Tobago. Those letters, and the stamps that traveled with them, sparked a curiosity about the world that grew through her home church and opportunities to travel abroad.

In 1999, Angela participated in a study abroad program through the University of London. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with a minor in English, from Mississippi College in 2001. Following graduation, she worked with the International Mission Board in Redhill, Surrey, England, helping maintain accurate payroll accounts for missionaries serving in several Middle Eastern countries.

After returning to the United States, Angela served as an activity director at Tracepointe Assisted Living. She later earned her educator’s license and taught middle school for 10 years, while also earning her Master of Business Administration from Belhaven University. She went on to earn her Juris Doctor from Mississippi College School of Law in 2013, was admitted to The Mississippi Bar that same year, and is an active member of The Mississippi Bar.

Angela brings the patience of an educator, an appreciation for different cultures, and a commitment to helping others to her legal practice. She understands that every immigration case carries a personal story and approaches each client’s matter with the attention, respect, and care it deserves.
