Angela was raised on a farm in northwest Kansas, and her Daddy provided many baby jackrabbits for her to raise when she was young. For their FFA projects, her children raised several varieties of tame rabbits, so she is very familiar with their habits and actions.

Angela received her BA from Fort Hays State University, and her M.Ed from William Woods University. After teaching PK-12 Art for 24 years at Greenfield R-IV, in southwest MO, she now helps her husband as they raise beef cattle on land once owned by his grandfather.
