Today, Angel has lived in Irving, Texas nearly twenty years. She is currently working on her Bachelor's degree at Wiley College in Social Sciences with an emphasis on Global Human Services. She is ecstatically grateful to God for all He is creating her to become.
Not only is Angel a daughter, she a sister, a mom to 4 beautiful young adult children, a wife and bonus mother to 4 more. Recently, Angel received her greatest title, it was becoming a Gigi to her first grandson. Mr. "Eli Benjamin" who is now one of her greatest joys in life.
