What our partners are saying

  • Working with Angela in her role leading districtwide English learner initiatives was genuinely transformative. Her deep expertise in language acquisition and literacy consistently increased the quality of the team’s work and ultimately strengthened classroom instruction.

She brings both rigor and heart to every project, and she’s the kind of leader who inspires excellence in everyone around her.

    Dr. Rima S. Haroun, Administrator, Multilingual Education and Global Achievement, San Diego County Office of Education

  • I've watched Angela facilitate difficult conversations about race, language, and equity with grace and skill. She doesn't shy away from hard truths, instead she creates space for people to learn and grow. Angela is both passionate and strategic. She can name systemic issues while building cohorts for change. Her influence in our educational community has been significant. Any district serious about equity work would benefit from her partnership.

    Juli Barnes-Wyss, School Counselor, SBUSD

  • Angela is an amazing coach. Her coaching was always done in a positive, encouraging way. She modeled and taught me many new strategies that I could use with all of my students, but especially my English language learners. She helped me scaffold sentence frames so all of my students could participate in grade level content, especially with learning new vocabulary words. With Angela's help, my students made one to two years of growth in their English levels as measured on the ELPAC exam. Angela helped me incorporate all four English domains, speaking, listening, reading and writing into lessons. I highly recommend using Angela's coaching for any teacher wanting to improve their teaching skills. Her coaching will help all students on their academic journey.

She truly knows her stuff and has an amazing ability to help teachers reach every student, regardless of their needs. What sets Angela apart is how much she genuinely cares. Her empathetic approach with families and staff creates a real sense of community. Angela brings everyone together to collaborate and make learning transformative for kids. She is the instructional partner every school needs!

  • I had the privilege of working alongside Angela in her role as a Teacher on Special Assignment, where she consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. As a bilingual educator, she brought a deep understanding of equitable instructional practices and a strong commitment to ensuring that all students—particularly multilingual learners—had access to high-quality instruction. Angela possesses an extensive knowledge of curriculum and effective pedagogy, which she skillfully used to support teachers across grade levels. She excelled in coaching educators to implement research-based, equitable strategies that elevated student engagement and learning outcomes. Additionally, Angela designed and delivered high-quality professional development sessions that were both practical and grounded in best instructional practices. Her trainings were consistently well-received and contributed significantly to building teacher capacity throughout our school community. Angela’s dedication, expertise, and leadership made her an invaluable asset, and her impact continues to be reflected in the improved instructional practices of the teachers she supported.

    Leslie Ochoa, Assistant Principal, Nestor Language Academy

  • During my time as a principal in the South Bay Union School District, I had the privilege of working closely with Angela in her role as a Literacy Coach. Angela was instrumental in elevating the quality of literacy planning across our K–6 teams. Through her deep knowledge of research-based instructional practices, she helped teachers strengthen their craft and build a shared sense of purpose and collective efficacy. Angela consistently modeled excellence, whether she was providing targeted professional development, leading thoughtful data analysis, or delivering highly effective demonstration lessons. Her work not only improved instructional planning but also significantly strengthened the functioning of our school’s PLCs. Teachers trusted her expertise, valued her guidance, and grew in confidence because of her steady, student-centered leadership. What truly sets Angela apart is her professionalism, collegiality, authenticity, and knowledge of proven strategies for increasing student achievement. She brings a positive, solutions-oriented approach to every interaction and fosters strong, productive relationships with staff. Angela is the kind of educator who lifts others, and our school community was made better because of her dedication.
