After college, Angie worked for Marriott for 2 years, then as a manager for Walmart. She lived in Hutchinson, MN for 8 years before taking a leap of faith, and moving to Greenville, IA, where she found a job that brought her closer to faith and family, communications coordinator for The Western Iowa Synod of ELCA.

She never went anywhere with less than two cameras. Everyone knew that she loved all kinds of music, and she could do it all, she played piano and had a beautiful singing voice.
