About Sara Angella

Highly skilled and experienced politic strategist applying my years of experience in political strategy, outreach, communication, and partnership development. A director of growth at Change Research, we are leading innovators in field online polls providing accessible, quick, and accurately. I have a proven track record of creating and maintaining strategic relationships with key stakeholders, influencers, and organizations across the political spectrum, leveraging my expertise in building cultures of inclusion and efficacy in fast, high-stakes political and private environments. Previously, I led and managed competitive races, outreach plans, and communication strategies for various political campaigns and organizations, such as Blue Voter Project, Rideshare2Vote, and the North Carolina General Assembly. I increased voter turnout, partnership engagement, and team performance by delivering innovative solutions, providing guidance and resources, and cultivating trust and collaboration. I am passionate about bringing my political acumen, outreach skills, and communication abilities to democratic institutions and progressive politics, and to contribute to the democratic field. I hold a BA in political science and two MA degrees in religion. I have a unique and diverse background in religious studies, which gives me a nuanced and holistic perspective on the intersection of religion and politics.
