Angela's hobbies include cooking, gardening and traveling. It is important to Angela that she is able to live fully whilst receiving care that coincides with the rhythm of her life. After starting out with another care provider, she soon realised the value of a good carer and the importance of good training. She love the flexibility of employing her own carers, creating my own rosters to suit my lifestyle. In 2008 she became a Living my way board member. Learning and participating in the operation of this organisation is important to her because they have given her more control over her life and how she wants to live it. She is excited for what the future brings as can only imagine that Living my way will continue to thrive.
