At Gresham, Angel supports the wealth strategy team by developing and implementing resources to help clients achieve their estate planning, philanthropic, and family advancement objectives. She encourages clients to engage in meaningful and thoughtful discussions about wealth, responsibility, history, philanthropy, and family dynamics—ensuring that a family’s legacy, not just their money, endures the test of time.
Before joining Gresham, Angel worked as an attorney specializing in ultra-high-net-worth estate planning. In that role, she advised clients on complex estate planning matters, with a special emphasis on charitable gift planning and philanthropy.
Before practicing law, Angel worked at two prominent arts organizations, where she gained insight into the inner workings of nonprofit organizations. She leveraged her arts administration background in her practice, assisting tax-exempt organizations with formation, dissolution, administration, and governance.
Angel is a 21/64 Certified Advisor and occasionally speaks on topics related to wealth management and empowering the next generation of professionals from all backgrounds in the industry.
