After a severe medical encounter that resulted in an opioid use disorder, her life was completely rocked a few years later. After that, she had five years of first-hand exposure to the effects of addiction and how the criminal justice system dealt with them.
Angela's goal as End It For Good's director of outreach is to promote inclusive community engagement. This covers a wide range of activities, from holding community meetings to teaching law enforcement and first responders how to reduce injury and respond in a trauma-informed manner. Regardless of their opinions on addiction and drug policy, she wants to see everyone treated with respect.
