Contact Angela regarding:

• General questions

Angela taught high school language arts for fifteen years in Davis County, where she instructed seniors taking CE English, sophomores needing reading comprehension support, creative writers telling their stories, and almost every other ELA course her school offered. She fell in love with English Quest during her tenure on the UCTE executive board and started weaseling her way in during the 2007 event. Angela now freelance edits and writes full time as AJ Jepperson (because no one can pronounce Woiwode) and works extensively with Eschler Editing as the project manager for two departments: nonfiction content editing and cover design.
