Angie moved to DC in 2005 and has been a part of Advent since 2013. Previously, she and her husband David attended Advent's sister churches on Capitol Hill and in Northern Virginia. Angie works at a research and analysis non-profit, where she focuses on homeland security and emergency management issues. She is a generalist at heart and has found too many things she loves about DC; in no particular order, these include walkable neighborhoods, grand public spaces, and the opportunity to discuss public policy with friends day and night. She dreams of a world where all is made right. Angie and David have two children, Georgia and John, and live in Petworth.

After working for over 5 years at the Department of Justice, Kyla joined a newly founded law firm practicing federal litigation.
