Angela first came to the San Juan Mountains for work in 2017 and she was part of the Gold King Mine cleanup for three years. Prior to living in Ouray County, Angela completed degrees at Cornell University in New York and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She has lived and worked all over the United States but has found her forever home in the Uncompahgre River Watershed.
Currently, Angela works as a project manager for Animas Environmental Services, a small, woman-owned consultancy serving the Four Corners Region. She oversees soil and groundwater cleanup projects, mostly in Arizona and New Mexico. Her favorite part of her career is working on mine cleanups, which are technically complex but crucial for improving water quality in the Mountain West.
Angela’s free time is devoted to fussing over her dogs, hiking, swimming, reading, and struggling with the challenges of high-altitude baking. She is active in the United Church of the San Juans and volunteers for the Colorado Environmental Management Society. She lives in Ridgway with her husband and his sister.
