Chair & Founder

Angela is the Founder and President of the Homeschool CARE Foundation and has served on the board and planning committee since its inception in 2018.

After working with HLA for nearly 10 years and homeschooling her own children for over 20 years, she saw a need beyond “school” to reach people on a personal level. Her own family has struggled with some of the issues that can impact a family’s success, and her desire for the Homeschool CARE Foundation has been to provide mental health, special needs, and financial support for hurting families.
