Having summered with McCague Borlack in 2023, Angela has now completed her Juris Doctor at the University of Windsor. During her time in law school, Angela discovered a passion for litigation and client advocacy through mooting and legal clinic work. Her mooting experience includes constitutional litigation, employment law, and criminal law. She has taken naturally to oral advocacy winning the University of Windsor’s internal alternative dispute resolution competition held by her faculty in her first year, as well as winning and being awarded top oral advocate in the provincial tort law moot in her final year of law school. Angela found her clinic work with Community Legal Aid Windsor, focusing on small claims and landlord and tenant disputes, particularly rewarding.
Prior to law school, Angela attended Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania on a basketball scholarship for two years before transferring to the University of Ottawa to complete her studies in philosophy and politics and continuing to compete for the Geegees. After graduating cum laude from the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Arts, Angela spent a year playing professional basketball in Denmark before pursuing her legal education.
In her free time, Angela likes to get her hands dirty and can often be found in her garden or the kitchen. Angela lives by the saying ‘old habits die hard’, so in the absence of basketball, has picked up triathlon training and learning how to play golf.
