Angeles recently graduated from UCLA, where, as a 4th-year student in the Luskin School of Public Affairs, she interned with a non-profit in the Eastern Coachella Valley. Her work focused on underrepresented, low-income residents in mobile home parks, involving outreach and research in renewable energy infrastructure. This effort resulted in a comprehensive 50-page policy report advocating for the inclusion of mobile home parks in California’s transition plans to a more sustainable future. As a woman of color from Santa Ana, Angeles has witnessed and experienced various forms of oppression, motivating her to contribute to breaking cycles of oppression and marginalization in communities.
