ENDORSEMENTS \"Angela is a savvy communicator and a natural at developing relationships and building trust. I\'ve rarely met someone as forward-thinking, with the ability to understand what people want and need. I\'ve seen her tackle some of the most stressful and unpredictable situations with a calmness not always seen in politics. Her compassion for wanting to improve the world around her combined with a strong ambition makes her a valuable, strong leader of any team, business or organization.\"—United States Congressman Allen West (FL-22) “If newsrooms had all-star teams, Angela would be on it. She’s a dedicated journalist who works hard to dig for original stories and inspires other to do the same. She is one of the few reporters I know who managed to master the technical skills needed to be a multi-media journalist without letting the editorial side suffer. She knows how to develop contacts, ask the tough questions and craft great stories. Any newsroom would be fortunate to have her.” -Kathy Gazda, Assistant News Director (Former), WPTV NBC
