Member Spotlight: Angela Shirley, Fall 2017 Inductee

Hello, my name is Angela Shirley. I’m originally from Long Island, NY, but I have been living in Frederick, MD for the past 16 years. I decided to return to college after nearly 20 years in the workforce and I am in my second year at UMUC, majoring in history. I am a full-time student and a stay-at-home mom to my five-year-old son, who will be starting kindergarten this fall. I have always had a love of history and I am excited that I am finally pursuing my dream to turn this love into a career. I also have a small business on Etsy called The Burnished Tree; I create handmade jewelry and home décor items in my spare time. Life can get hectic at times but I am proud to say that I have made the Dean’s List every semester since I enrolled in 2016 and I have a 3.94 GPA. I am honored to be a member of Alpha Sigma Lambda and to belong to such a wonderful community of scholars.
