Angela began her role as Program Assistant in German-Canadian Studies at the University of Winnipeg in November 2023. She holds an MA degree with Distinction (2022) in Translation Studies from the University of Birmingham, UK, and a four-year BA degree (2019) in Linguistics and German Studies from the University of Winnipeg.

Angela’s interest in strengthening connections between speakers of different languages has guided her academic and personal endeavours. In 2019, she travelled to Germany with the KMK’s PAD program, providing English language assistance to students of varying levels at the Goethe Schule Ilsenburg. In 2022, she returned to Berlin for a language services internship with Access International.

Formerly Project Assistant with GCS, Angela has rooted herself in existing research relating to German-Canadian history in Canada and will expand on that knowledge in her role as Program Assistant. She works in collaboration with the Chair in German-Canadian Studies to research select subject areas.
