Amanda Angell, 22, is from Bradford, MA and is a recent graduate from UMASS Amherst where she received a degree in English. This year she is serving in the Chicago community as a case manager at the Catholic Charities clinic for adolescent parents. Amanda is very excited to share her Catholic upbringing and strong faith in God with the young parents with whom she works in Chicago. Even though she will greatly miss her family and friends back home in Massachusetts, Amanda can’t wait to take the city by storm with her housemates. She does not know exactly what the future holds after her year as an AV, but she is ready to find out!
