While working professionally in the corporate sector for over 25 years, Angie volunteered her time reaching out to mothers and their children. This work grew her passion to equip others to do the same, to transform the lives of families who live in poverty. Angie has a reputation for “getting the job done,” a strength she brings to her work in Redwood City. Since launching—now ¡Levantar! (foremly Generations United), her work has reached over 1,000 children annually, mobilizing 500 volunteers annually. Angie’s ability to engage with leaders, school administrators, community partners, churches, city officials, and businesspeople has served families increasingly under duress from the threat of displacement.
