In 2022, Shelly saw the need to create a "hub" for teachers community members, and businesses to put their unneeded supplies in the classrooms. The Teacher Reuse received 501(c)(3) status in March, 2022 and is growing strong.

Angela’s life has been marked by three diverse careers.

 

Prior to her current role in mortgage processing, she was an engineer, specializing in the design of computer peripherals and cellular infrastructure. However, her most cherished career role was that of a dedicated home-educating teacher, nurturing her children's education from kindergarten through high school.

Her passion for teaching, learning, and helping others has been a constant throughout her life. She thrives in witnessing the success and growth of those she has had the privilege to guide. 

In her free time, she enjoys gardening, reading, family time, and long walks.

These experiences and interests have shaped Angela’s perspective, and she is eager to contribute her unique background and enthusiasm to helping ease the burden on teachers as they inspire the next generation.
