Angela Cortes Arana
Angela joined the Family & Supporter Engagement team as a Student Coordinator in August 2025. As a proud Central Piedmont Community College transfer student, she is pursuing a triple major in Marketing, Finance-Accounting, and Spanish, while simultaneously earning certificates in Spanish-English Translation and Business Spanish.
Born and raised in the Queen City, choosing UNC Charlotte felt like a natural step. Angela is passionate about creating a “home away from home” for fellow students and building a sense of belonging on campus. Along her journey, she found a supportive community and lasting friendships that continue to inspire her academic and personal goals.
A creative at heart, she enjoys scrapbooking in her free time “capturing memories, not just pictures.” She also enjoys listening to music, and celebrating her Latina heritage in every way she can.
