Angela studied for a BSc in Nutrition at King\'s College London and then an MSc in Public Health Nutrition at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She was then involved in Health Action Zone research 'Measuring Access to Healthy Food in Sandwell' in collaboration with Warwick University. Understanding and finding solutions to this research has formed the foundation for her learning and has led to work for New Deal for Communities and the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund to improve access to healthier food.
Angela is now developing work with Local Authority housing, planning and transport to inform Regional Spatial Planning. She works as part of a wider Food Policy and Project team in Sandwell. Her work is primarily focused on food retail but connects across a full range of policy and project areas. The Sandwell Food Policy Team has employees focusing on food policy, schools and young people, growing food, catering, community cafes, community-based work, area-based work (eg New Deal for Communities and Neighbourhood Renewal Fund).
