 Angie, an Army brat was born in Germany
as the daughter of a WWII hero. Angie’s father was a decorated WWII tank commander during the Battle of the Bulge where he lost two tanks and several crew members, and which immediately followed the Battle of the Hurtgen Forest that Ernest Hemingway compared to major World War I battles. German General von Gersdorff said the
Hurtgen Forest and the better known Battle of the Bulge were more horrific than anything he saw on the Russian Front.
In addition to living in Europe, Angie has lived in many states in the United States, from coast to coast, while her father also served in Korea and Vietnam. Together with her parents and her brother, in 1970 Angie moved to Arizona where she completed high school and earned a legal assistant certification.
Angie has served in various capacities as a legal assistant including with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and the State of Arizona. Angie has done work for Arizona school districts both as a volunteer in different capacities and as an employee working with learning disabled and gifted students.
Angie is a professional policy writer,
editor, and publisher. She worked as a Child Support Enforcement Officer for the State of Arizona where she engaged in everything from establishing paternity and court orders to collecting child support in difficult and complicated cases. Angie has attended many seminars and workshops and has been awarded certificates relating to facilitation, training, and auditing. She has worked as a specialist dealing with high level and other sensitive complaints filed with the Governor and with other State of Arizona elected officials and national elected officials representing Arizona. She presently works as a policy writer for a large government agency
where she interacts with workers and managers at all levels.

Trainer and Teacher
My photographic emphasis
for 2012 and 2013 will be in Fine Art Photography primarily in the areas of
Southwest Scenic Photography and in an area I have enjoyed a strong presence
in known as Corner Art Photography. I have not in the past displayed
these photographs on this website because of contractual marketing
agreements. However, beginning in 2012
I will deal directly with galleries and will also display my work on this
site.
