Dr. Angela Hagan grew up in southeastern Illinois, but claims Louisville as her adopted hometown after moving here in 1997. Her entire academic and career path, which has never taken her far from the Ohio River Valley, has related to the ecosystem that supports healthy, vibrant, thriving communities.

Angela holds a B.A. in economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned both her Master of Public Administration (public policy focus) and Ph.D. in Urban and Public Affairs from the University of Louisville. (Fun fact: Her father, Ron Stallings, is also a UofL alumnus, and played on the 1972 Final Four Cardinal Basketball team.)

 For over a decade, she worked in leadership functions including development, marketing and communications, and community engagement for nonprofit organizations focused on affordable and fair housing, education, youth development, and art (KMAC Museum) before spending a decade at Louisville-based Fortune 60 health plan Humana, where she led functions  and teams in member engagement and community health strategy and insights.

 Outside of work, a former fencer, she squeezes in some rowing practice as a member of the Louisville Rowing Club, enjoys visiting museums and galleries and collecting art, and supports her husband Ken in his bourbon business.
