Angela Youngers

Angela Youngers has enjoyed having an audience, whether willing or captive, since singing in her father's band at the age of five, performing in her first theatrical play as a freshman in high school, and teaching in the public school system since 2008. She has directed numerous plays, coached several events for IHSSA speech teams, written original ensembles and adapted several theatrical works for performance, encouraged and mentored young writers, and worked constantly to foster a love of reading, writing, speaking, and performing in her students. She values communication, empathy, and creativity, and she believes the sharing of stories to be one of the most important human experiences.

Angela Youngers is a high school English and speech teacher in the Des Moines metro where she lives with her husband Jeremy and her two children, Tobias and Aubriana. She has her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Northern Iowa and her Master of Arts in Education from Viterbo University.
