Angela Manavella

Interim Sentinel Landscapes Support Advisor

Angela has been actively engaged in Santa Barbara’s nonprofit sector since graduating college in 2014. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Planning, Public Policy and Management with a minor in Nonprofit Administration at the University of Oregon in Eugene – where much of her passion for sustainable practices and environmental conservation evolved.

Previous to LegacyWorks, Angela worked as the programs manager for Leading From Within, an organization that provides high quality leadership development programs and offerings to empower the changemakers of our communities. In her role, she worked to enhance the experience and impact created from the program curriculum and growing network of leaders working across Santa Barbara County and its diverse community issues. She was core in the organization’s daily operations, storytelling, and efforts in expanding its diversity, equity and inclusion, as well as in the evaluation of its programs and services. She is also an alumna of Leading From Within’s Emerging Leaders program.

Today, Angela focuses on supporting LegacyWorks Group’s expanding role in Sentinel Landscapes, and support in building leadership frameworks for the organization. She’s also a mother and wife, enjoying the outdoors as frequently as possible with her family.
