Most recently, she was West Virginia’s Technical Assistance Coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic Equity Center operated by The George Washington University Center for Equity and Excellence in Education.
Prior to her work with Edvantia, Angius was employed as Director of Research Coordination for the West Virginia Department of Education, and Director of Upward Bound at Marshall University.
