Angela Clark started volunteering for Clydesider in 2017. Her passion for writing made it the perfect opportunity to volunteer and do something she loved. She joined our staff team in September 2019 and is looking forward to writing more positive news stories about our local community. She finds people interesting and loves listening to their stories. She also enjoys hillwalking, with 39 munros under her belt she hopes to tick off the remaining peaks “before my body packs in.” Being of an adventurous spirit she will try anything once – apart from bungee jumping – no chance, not even for a million pound!
