Angie identifies first and foremost as a daughter of God, a child of the covenant, and a disciple of Christ. Born and raised in Newdale, Idaho, she spent about 25 years in Salt Lake City before finding her way back home. She is an aunt to 20 niblings, which means she has attended approximately 4,000 sporting events, eaten fruit snacks she didn’t buy, and answered at least 700 variations of “Watch this!” She firmly believes that all people and things eventually connect back to Newdale somehow, and that the world is linked by far fewer degrees of Newdale than Kevin Bacon—just check where your fries came from the next time you're at Five Guys. Angie loves the outdoors, meaningful conversations, family traditions, and gathering people together, preferably around good food. Known for laughing loudly and somehow ending up in charge of things she never volunteered for, she believes the best parts of life are built around faith, family, service, and a healthy sense of humor.
