Angela’s journey began at Patuxent River Naval Base, where she grew up in the vibrant community of Southern Maryland. Her commitment to service led her to join the U.S. Navy, where she also worked with the Department of Defense while pursuing her degree. During this time, Angela recognized a significant demand for marketing support among small businesses.
Her entrepreneurial spirit ignited when she began assisting a local retail store with web development on the side. Through networking with local clients, she realized the potential to establish her own brand. As she balanced her studies with her passion for web design, Angela focused on empowering small businesses in her community.
It was during a networking meeting that Angela discovered her unique ability to connect with clients, guiding them toward the right channels for increased visibility in Southern Maryland. Inspired by this connection, she embraced the name that would define her mission, and thus SOMD Connect & Associates was born!
