Background Info.

Angela is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area in California. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UC Davis where she developed an interest in the autism field. After spending some time working as an ABA therapist, she pursued her Master’s degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, CA, where she also gained some clinical and research experience at UCLA. Her research interests include parenting & family stress and its impact on treatment outcomes of children with ASD. She also is interested in examining mental health disparities among families of diverse and rural/low-income communities and hopes to focus on implementing new interventions for this population. In her free time, she likes spending time with her friends and husband, travel and explore new cities whenever she can, take pictures, cook/bake, and try new foods/restaurants.
