Angelie grew up in Portland, Oregon and has been active in the local nonprofit scene for 10 years. Originally interested in children\u2019s therapy, she ended up finding a good fit in disability supports back in 2013. She has provided consultations related to accessibility and racial equity in the workplace, and has dabbled in general social services \u2014 finding early on that she much preferred work that wasn\u2019t systems-focused, and sought out positions where she could connect with people on a human level without having to uphold systemic inequities for those seeking support. Much of her work has been community and relationship centered.<\/p>\n
Approaching her work from a relationship-based, person-centered point of view, Angelie has always found it important to take people\u2019s identities & experiences into account \u2014 why might people think or communicate in certain ways? Which life experiences have led us to the beliefs that we hold now? How can we adjust our language so that certain concepts or ideas are more accessible to a wider variety of people?<\/p>\n
Throughout her working journey, she has found the best fit in places that recognize some of these universal needs: to see and be seen, and to know and be known. In her free time you can find her listening to music, working on an art project, playing Switch games, or finding a nice patch of grass to relax in.<\/p>\n
