for music deepened. Everyday was spent working harder to achieve her dreams. She recently completed her studies as a classical
voice major at Temple University’s Esther Boyer College of Music and Dance. Angela has had many amazing opportunities
at Temple University including six productions with Temple Opera Theater. In March 2009, Angela had the privilege to
