About Angie Zara
Angie Zara is a Washington, DC native, educator, and systems-level leader dedicated to building trauma-informed, equity-centered learning environments that prioritize both student success and adult sustainability.Since beginning her career in 2015 as a Title I, full-inclusion classroom teacher, Angie has led initiatives that transform school culture, from creating a Social Emotional Learning Specialist role that expanded districtwide, to guiding school teams in restorative practices, adult capacity building, and long-term de-escalation systems. She recently transitioned from her district-level role to immerse herself on a school-based administrative leadership team as a Program Coordinator, where she now leads SEL initiatives and student support with a focus on whole-child systems and sustainable, relationship-driven practices.Angie also teaches as adjunct faculty in Butler University’s Applied Educational Neuroscience Certification Program beside her mentor, Dr. Lori Desautels; equipping educators with brain-aligned, trauma-informed tools rooted in the latest research. In 2023, she co-founded LiveWellEd, LLC, a coaching-based support organization that partners with caregivers, educators, and organizations. Whether navigating behavioral challenges or educational needs, LiveWellEd offers expert guidance, practical tools, and personalized coaching to help every step forward feel more supported, for both children and the adults who care for them.
