After earning undergraduate and advanced degrees from the University of Nebraska, she found herself in a manufacturing career. She found her niche in aerospace with UTC. Currently, she is Quality Manager of Global Manufacturing. In this role, Angel manages a team that in 2016 was the only UTAS site to exceed quality metrics and deliver over $300,000 in savings. Angel works with the Seward Library Staff to develop STEM programs for elementary and middle school students.
