She holds a bachelor's degree in language interpreting and is ionate about all things culture and communication—especially in how it relates to popular media throughout history (from Shakespeare to Friends to Game of Thrones). 

Industry Focus

She especially enjoys writing book-to-screen analyses, which has expanded to other franchises such as The Hunger Games, The Chronicles of Narnia, and more. 

Favorite Media

While Angel could analyze the plot and characters of the Harry Potter books all day, she is ionate about any of the comforting binge-worthy classics. Friends, How I Met Your Mother, The Good Place, and all Disney has to offer are never far from her heart.
