Angela joined the Wellbeing team in 2024 and was already known to GDA, having supported and delivered previous projects.
Angela has a background in mental health and management. She trained as a general and psychiatric nurse, and was a nurse manager in Leverndale and Parkhead Hospitals. She left the Health Service to spread her wings and gained her degree in Social Sciences from Glasgow Caledonian University. She graduated with a baby! It wasn’t all study!
Post-graduation, Angela set up and ran Castlemilk Stress Centre, a small mental health charity that punched above its weight in terms of innovative services delivered, and opportunities created and curated for local people.
Angela then set up a consultancy that she ran for many years, fulfilling many projects for a range of organisations, before taking a contract in 2017 with Moira Anderson Foundation to provide regular services. She also assessed funds, delivered training, and provided workplace coaching for other organisations.
Angela supports GDA members to navigate and improve their wellbeing, whilst managing the service and, money permitting, exciting developments.
Angela enjoys baking, cooking, knitting, reading, travelling and gardening. She’s a busy woman. She enjoys the company of family and friends. She particularly likes sharing food with others and going to the beach.
