During high school, Angel usually had to head to the neighborhood library to access a computer and the internet. Nevertheless, given her uncanny determination to excel in her academics, she yet managed to attend the University of Alabama on a full-ride academic scholarship, graduate summa cum laude, and eventually gain admission into Harvard Law School.

​

Once she arrived at Harvard Law, however, she soon felt as if she had been a big fish in a small pond all her life,

​

 “Am I really that smart?”

 

It seemed like whereas everyone else knew what to do, she was lost. Upon gaining access to the secrets of law school success, Angel felt a responsibility to show “the how” behind her years of academic excellence. Hence, the summer after her second year of law school she started a blog, Harvard & Hardship. The blog soon morphed into a full-fledged book, Harvard & Hardship: A Beginner’s Guide to College and Law School, and in no time, Angel received requests for hands-on guidance through the law and graduate school application processes.

 

Now an attorney and Harvard Law graduate, Angel doesn’t glory in her academic accomplishments. Instead, she enjoys helping others navigate their own academic path and realize their fullest academic potential.

 

Angel is a proud Floridian who is a self-described theme park fanatic and beach bum.
