About Me
Welcome! I’m Angela Eward-Mangione, and I’m passionate about helping others communicate effectively so they can realize and express their full potential. Whether through writing, teaching, speaking, or serving in my community, my mission is to support people in finding their voice and sharing it confidently.
I’m married to my smart, funny husband, Stephen, and together, we’re raising an energetic six-year-old girl—Natalie. I love being a “girl mama.” My educational journey has taken me from earning an A.A. at St. Petersburg College (formerly St. Petersburg Junior College) to completing my Ph.D. in English and Literature at the University of South Florida. Along the way, I also earned a B.A. in English, an M.L.A. in Liberal Arts, and a Graduate Certificate in Comparative Literary Studies. In addition to my academic credentials, I’ve trained with Life-Path Hospice as a volunteer to visit patients, and I recently completed training in Adult Mental Health First Aid, which I strive to use in my daily life. I’m also proud to serve as Vice President of the Florida College English Association, alongside holding other professional service positions.
My faith is at the core of everything I do. Jeremiah 1:5 and 1 Corinthians 13:12-13 are two verses that resonate deeply with me. They state that we are all known and loved in ways beyond measure, and that we were each made with purpose. These principles guide how I interact with others and shape the work I do, as I aim to help people realize the value and purpose they carry within.
When I’m not working, I enjoy writing, running, and reading. I also love to visit the beach with my family since I believe in nourishing both the mind and soul. Whether through my professional work or personal connections, I am committed to making a positive, lasting impact.
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me. I’m excited to connect and see how we can collaborate!
