Angie received her M.B.A. from Babson College, M.Ed. from Boston University, and B.A. from the University of Michigan. For the past two decades, she has worked as a classroom teacher as well as literacy coach/reading specialist. Currently, she is the District Design and Innovation Coach for the Cambridge Public Schools. Angie is passionate about the intersection of education, innovation and social change and is working on how public schools can change the way problems are identified and addressed. She believes we are all innovators when given the time, space, and opportunity to do so.
