Originally hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Angela is an emerging artist of Chinese descent. She first found her inspiration for performance shortly after she graduated from high school, uncertain which direction she should take in her life she followed her instincts and enrolled in Improv classes at Loose Moose Theatre, where she flourished and honed her earliest version of the craft. In 2016 she was accepted into Vancouver's Studio 58 professional development program and received the John F. Parker Scholarship which is reserved for students who show exceptional promise. Since graduating in 2019, Angela has been very active in the Theatre community, having performed in over a dozen productions.
Her passion is for playing in Dystopian worlds where discovering the truth and confronting her own existentialism is where her heart leads her.
Although Angela's first love is Theatre, in the last couple years she has been delving into the Television and Film world. In 2024 she won the Best Female Actor at CAFF for her portrayal of Sydney in the short film Gesture. Heavily involved in the Asian community, she is an advocate for inclusion and diversity across all media formats. She has passion, discipline and deep respect for the arts and prides herself on following her own impulses which at times have made her separate from her traditional Chinese Canadian upbringing.

She also enjoys her exploration and passion for Voiceover, she voices Avila in a sci-fi documentary podcast Apocrypha Chronicles on Spotify. Recently she was selected as a Top Ten finalist for the Artist2Artist Digital showcase with Sean Cossey & JJ Ogilvy. She was also nominated for Best Performance Award at VSFF for her role in Gesture.
