Biography
Angela Field Trapp, a native Hoosier, is a graduate of Penn High School (Mishawaka) and Indiana University-Bloomington. Angela’s first experience in the law occurred in college when she served as a Justice on the Indiana University Student Association’s Supreme Court. She graduated from IU with a degree in political science.
After college, Angela earned a master’s degree in health care administration from the University of Michigan’s top-ranked School of Public Health and worked at Blue Cross Blue Shield in Detroit, Michigan. As a result of her achievements, Angela was awarded a prestigious Presidential Management Fellowship in Washington, D.C. While serving in our nation’s capital, Angela worked for the United States House of Representative’s Committee on Energy and Commerce, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and the Food and Drug Administration. For her efforts she received the Outstanding Achievement Award for her work on the Medicare Modernization Act of 2004, which created the current Medicare drug benefit program.
Having desired to be a lawyer her whole life, Angela moved back to her native Indiana to attend law school at the Maurer School of Law at Indiana University in Bloomington.
