Angela has always wanted to become a mediator, but her busy litigation practice did not afford her the opportunity to do so. With the closure of courts in 2020, she had finally found the time to fulfil this goal. She obtained a Qualified Mediator Certificate from Herzing College with a 4.0 GPA.  A year after, Angela received her Collaborative training and became a Collaborative family law lawyer.
