Known for her calm leadership under pressure and meticulous attention to detail, Angela has produced everything from intimate retreats and leadership masterminds to arena-scale productions and large multimedia events. Her unique background spans the self-development industry, theater, nonprofit leadership, and concert production, giving her a rare ability to blend creativity, storytelling, technical precision, and audience experience into events people never forget.  

Behind the scenes, Angela has worked in environments where Lady Gaga sipped watermelon juice backstage, Oprah added truffle salt to her popcorn, and Paul McCartney’s signature cologne lingered in the green room. But her true passion is helping purpose-driven leaders step fully into the spotlight while she handles the strategy, logistics, production, and execution that make extraordinary events possible.

As the founder of ACE Events, Angela works with speakers, authors, coaches, and thought leaders across the country to create experiences that feel powerful, polished, and profitable without the chaos and overwhelm that often happen behind the scenes.  

Beyond her work in production, Angela is deeply committed to community impact and philanthropy. She has helped raise more than $160,000 for nonprofits, supported organizations serving foster children and families in need, expanded access to mental health services, and currently serves as Board Chair of 100 Women Who Care Southern Nevada, continuing her mission of connecting generous people with organizations creating meaningful change in their communities.
