Meet Angie!

Angie is a well-known and well-loved face here at Hudson Guild who serves as the Data, Quality, & Family Engagement Coordinator. Along with providing support to and building relationships with families enrolled in our programs, her role here includes data collection, program outreach & recruitment, and community partnerships across K-8 Youth and Teen & Young Adult Services. Angie’s favorite part about being a part of Hudson Guild is being able to successfully help families receive the resources they need.

From being a participant in our programs as a child to now working here for about 21 years, Hudson Guild has been a huge part of Angie’s life. Some of her favorite memories of Hudson Guild stem from her experiences as a child participating in cooking classes, clay sculpting classes, wood-working classes, summer camp, and performing as a part of the ballet group at our Older Adult Centers. When she isn’t working, Angie’s favorite vacation spot is Key West, Florida.
