She went on to win various competitions in the state of Texas including the Collin County Young Artist Competition in which she performed with the Plano Symphony at age 13. During this time, she also studied the harp and French horn, and performed in the high school concert, marching, and jazz bands.

In 2012, she became an Associate Music Director for Choozi Entertainment, which produced the shows for the "Artists of Silver Sea" on Silver Sea Cruise lines all over the world! Angela is also an award winning lyricist and composer, capturing “Best of the Fringe Festival” awards for her shows “Legacy of the Tiger Mother” in San Francisco in 2012, (a self produced show that played in Las Vegas, New York, Adelaide, Australia, and San Francisco) and “Sudoku the Musical” at the Las Vegas Fringe Festival in 2013!
