About Angela Graves:
Angela Graves was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. She went in for a routine pre-college physical shortly after her 18th birthday, which prompted her to be sent to a specialist to run tests and later be diagnosed on August 7, 2009. Surgery and treatment caused a few extended absences during her freshman year at Paine College where she was studying Mathematics on a Full academic scholarship. This did not delay or deter her as Angela is a proud graduate of Paine college and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated. After 10 successful years in education, Angela is now a Training Analyst in Organizational Readiness for SL. King Technologies. When she's not working professionally, she’s still working as a full-time mom, PTA Vice President, private math tutor, and travel agent.
