Angel is a second-generation Vietnamese American born and raised in Sacramento, California. As a first-generation college student, she earned her bachelor's degree in Asian American Studies and Psychology at UC Davis. After finishing her undergraduate journey, she began her professional career as the Program Coordinator for the UC Davis Asian American Studies. From that experience, she learned that she enjoys working with a team that centers on providing support and programming for hxstorically marginalized and underrepresented students.

As the Office Coordinator for SAandPIRI, she looks forward to collaborating with her team, colleagues, and undergraduate scholars on promoting community building and Ethnic Studies values on campus. Outside of work, Angel enjoys going to coffee shops in Sacramento, cooking, and attending concerts with her friends.
