Biography

Educator, Contributing Writer, Family Herbalist As a young child with a deep love of plants, bugs, and anything found in the wilds of her suburban yard and the nearby foothills, Angela adored the natural world right from the start. She officially found her way to herbalism as a teenager in a search for empowering self-care. This interest soon turned into a passion with full-blown spa days replete with handcrafted baths, multistep facials, botanical-filled vinegar hair rinses, and even the occasional ingredient-infused henna hair packs. Herbalism continued to inspire her studies in college and beyond. Angela holds a BA in Biology with an emphasis on Botany from the University of Colorado and certificates in herbalism from the Rocky Mountain Center for Botanical Studies. She went on to specialize in educating young children and their families about herbalism through her work at a small preschool and online with the Herbal Academy. With her children grown, Angela has shifted focus and found her way into the world of cozy fiction. As the founder of Nerdy Fairy, she brings together fictional worlds and botanicals to create inspired self-care adventures. She enjoys getting creative with these beautiful stories to make luscious botanical products that support the characters, places, and adventures found within each cozy page. She also offers a blog on Nerdy Fairy filled with DIY recipes and herbal information for anyone who wants to get crafty on their own.
