Meet Angel Halo Chang
After teaching Pre-K Head Start for two years, Angel had a vision to make a bigger impact outside her classroom walls. Today, she's working on maximizing her impact as a children and family advocate (speaker, educator, author-illustrator). She's interested to also work with other social impact leaders and educators to create diverse and inclusive spaces for children, friends, and families. She values creativity, authenticity, and community.
Born and raised in Orange County, Angel is also a mother to 2 and raising her family in the Bay Area.

THROUGH THE YEARS
2008 -2010 | Teaching Days
Angel was a Teach For America corps member and taught Pre-K Head Start program for 2 years in Half Moon Bay, CA next to a pumpkin patch. See video below!
2013 - 2017 | Coping with Books
She left the classroom in search of wanting to make a bigger impact. While finding her way in the working world, she found self-publishing children's books to cope while missing her former students.
2017 - 2022 | Trial and Error
On a career path far away from education, Angel launched her first Kickstarter in June 2017 on a whim to share her first collection of books. Despite launching a 2nd Kickstarter project that failed in 2019, she was also finding a path back to working in early education.
2022 - 2025 | The Adobo, Boba, Chai Collection era
It wasn't until her 3rd Kickstarter in 2022 during the pandemic and rise of anti-Asian violence where she found success with over $16K raised and over 400 backers to the 1st book of the Adobo, Boba, Chai collection that promotes Asian foods and cultures.
2025 - Present | Building Noodle Neighborhood
After a decade of making books, Angel moves her platform from the pages of her Adobo, Boba, Chai collection to more face-to-face projects, which includes building and launching community YouTube project called Noodle Neighborhood.
