Angelina has extensive experience in nonpartisan civic engagement and education, voting rights, election administration, and civic technology and policy. Most notably, she worked at the Center for Civic Engagement as an undergraduate and graduate student, where she led multiple programs, events, and contributed to impactful communication campaigns aimed at increasing civic participation on campus. Thanks to her unwavering efforts and commitment to nonpartisan civic engagement, James Madison University saw over a 20% increase in the student voter turnout rate during her time as a student. After she graduated from JMU, she worked for nonpartisan pro-election related groups in Washington D.C.. Her work focused on strengthening the public’s trust and knowledge in our election administration system, including fostering and growing multiple coalitions of election administrators and Chief Election Officials from across the country.

Angelina has also contributed to multiple presentations, publications, and has won awards for her work, including presentations at the Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement conference about her work on civic learning and fostering deliberative dialogues to bridge political divides and differences and at conferences for election administration officials. Her work on fostering student participation in election administration has been published in Political Science Today.

Angelina received her B.A. in Political Science and her Master of Public Administration from James Madison University. During her time in graduate school, she was awarded the Public Service Student Leadership Award and the Outstanding Student Award, both a demonstration of her high academic achievements and her legacy and leadership in advancing the public good by creating opportunities for campus and community civic participation.

In her free time, Angelina enjoys reading, gardening, trying new recipes, and exploring her home state of Virginia with her dog and family.
