Before Angie ever set foot in a delivery room, she spent six years as a State Senator in South Dakota -- advocating for underserved communities and learning, in a very different arena, what it means to show up for people during vulnerable moments. That chapter earned her the Harvey Milk Award from the White House in 2012, but it also planted a seed. After a decade in politics and nonprofit work, Angie pivoted to healthcare, starting with a psychology degree and then earning her nursing degree from Augustana University. She spent three years as a postpartum RN at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where she served as charge nurse and preceptor, and another three years working with children and adolescents in an acute psychiatric facility in Sioux Falls. Each role deepened her conviction that the most meaningful care happens at the intersection of physical and emotional health. Angie completed her midwifery degree at Frontier Nursing University in 2022 and relocated to Arizona with her family. At MomDoc's Power office, she brings an uncommon combination of legislative advocacy, psychiatric insight, and clinical skill to her midwifery practice -- the kind of background that makes her especially attuned to what her patients need, even when they are not sure how to ask for it.
