Angel Evans is a PhD candidate in the Writing, Rhetoric, and Literacy program. She's interested in how culturally-sustaining language practices and histories function as modes of empowerment and healing, particularly for marginalized communities. Her work also focuses on global and public writing contexts. Angel is a 2022 recipient of the CCCC Scholars for the Dream award and the 2023 Excellence in Teaching by a First-Year GTA award at Ohio State. She has served as a writing consultant at The OSU Writing Center housed within the Center for the Study of Teaching and Writing (2022-2023), where she currently serves as an Assistant Coordinator.

Prior to graduate study, Angel worked in three primary areas: non-profit education, media/grant-writing, and community engagement. Her research and teaching are informed by this work. She hopes to equip students of all backgrounds with language tools that enrich their professional and lived experience.
