Shortly after moving to Gainesville, the couple founded Team FTC in the fall of 2016. During the first-year, Angela worked as an engineer at Philips while helping run Team FTC on the side. As Team FTC and Angela's responsibilities grew, she left engineering to come on board full-time in early 2018.

Running background:

When Team FTC launched Angela's running background was very limited. She had completed a few local 5k's in 2012/13 but had no formal running or sports experience as a youth or adult. As the team took off, so did Angela's training and love for running. She completed her first Half Marathon at the Tom Walker in 2016 in a little over 2 hours. A year later she lowered her time to 1:44 at the local FPOL Half Marathon. Then a year after that she ran her first Marathon in 2019 in 3:24 to qualify for the 2020 Boston Marathon. As a Member of Team FTC Elite, Angela has become a leader at practices and races. Her passion continues to grow for running and coaching as she gains knowledge and miles under her feet.
