Angela Freeze
You can’t help but smile when you are around Angela—her enthusiasm for life is contagious. It’s this energy that keeps her going all day since she is one of 5 people in life that don’t like coffee. The rest of us don’t understand. She and her husband, Tyler, are the biggest Packer fans on the planet. No, really. And she would choose a steak over a cupcake any day. Angela joined JMM in 2015 and since then, she has shared her beautiful servant’s heart with everyone she meets. It’s why she loves working with and serving our partners!
