Bio

Angela Berasa-Owens is a recent graduate of The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, obtaining a Master of Arts in Applied Psychology. She resides in Charlotte, NC with her husband of 10 1/2 years. She has one married daughter who is an HR professional, a granddaughter, and a grandson. She is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, where she obtained the rank of Sergeant before being honorably discharged after the Gulf War. 

​

Currently, Angela divides her professional time between operating an at-home tax preparation business for the last 19 years and operating a start-up non-profit to benefit at-risk, unhoused youth. However, she is eager to begin her career in social assistance with a reputable organization that supports all community members who are in need.

​

Her main passion, however, is writing and publishing a series of children’s books designed to help tender-aged children heal from trauma. Her fledgling publishing company, Reading with a Purpose Publishing is set to publish the inaugural book - the first in a series of biblio-therapy books for children aged 4-9 years - in mid-2027. The books are designed to help children process and deal with traumatic life events such as divorce, the death of a parent, and mental, physical, or sexual abuse.

​

In her very limited free time, she enjoys watching action movies with her husband, reading, playing word games or playing with their dog Rocco.
