In 2014, Angela joined CareCredit, where she successfully leveraged her extensive knowledge and expertise in her roles as Trainer and Practice Development Manager. Angela was subsequently promoted to her current role as Vice President of Strategic Associations and Dental Health Policy, where she leads strategic initiatives, education, and relationships with national, state, and local dental associations while providing sales support for CareCredit Dental Tradeshows.
Throughout her career, Angela has remained passionate about supporting the dental office manager community and is dedicated to empowering practice leaders through education, collaboration, and meaningful connections. She is proud to partner with AADOM and support the incredible office managers who play such a vital role in the success of dental practices.
