Favorite thing about Project GRAD Akron:
One of my favorite things about Project GRAD Akron is its unwavering belief that every student deserves the opportunity to dream big and succeed, regardless of their circumstances. The organization doesn't simply prepare students for graduation—it walks alongside them, providing the guidance, resources, and encouragement they need to envision a future filled with possibility. From college and career readiness to scholarships and mentoring, Project GRAD Akron helps students recognize their potential and equips them with the confidence to pursue it.
A little about Angela:
I am proud to call Northeast Ohio home and currently live in Tallmadge. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to serve in corporate, education, and nonprofit leadership roles, with experience spanning organizational development, curriculum design, program management, operations, and leadership development. Today, I have the privilege of helping develop leaders through Leadership Akron while also serving as Director of Operations for Limitless Ambition, where I work to empower girls and women to dream boldly and lead confidently.
I am passionate about building stronger communities by investing in people. Whether I'm creating leadership programs, mentoring emerging leaders, supporting nonprofit organizations, or serving on community boards, I believe meaningful change happens when people are connected, inspired, and equipped to make a difference. My work is driven by a deep commitment to service, collaboration, and creating opportunities for others to thrive.
