Angela was involved in an accident in 2002 and had to become reliant on a wheelchair. It turned her life upside down and it took her a while to get her life back on track. Before her accident, Angela worked as a bookkeeper, insurance agent, holiday tour guide and sales representative.
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 loves the flexibility of employing her own carers, creating my own rosters to suit my lifestyle. In her spare time, Angela likes to cook, try new recipes, travel, and gardening. Her garden is her pride and joy and has lots of fresh produce including pumpkins, hairy melons, beans, eggplants, chives, figs, berry, papaya, herbs, and flowers. She joined a toastmaster club recently and goes to hydrotherapy three times a week to enhance her mobility.
In 2008 she became a Living My Way Board Member. Learning and participating in the operation of this organization, this 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.
