MEET ANGELA ZENDER

She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she worked in a communication and language laboratory.

MEET ANGELA ZECHIN
Angela Zechin is a Colorado native and professional musician whose family has deep roots in the Blackhawk area of the Colorado Rockies. Shaped by this upbringing—and inspired by the many nephews and family members currently serving in the military—Angela has long been passionate about supporting veteran families through both the challenges and the triumphs that come with military life.
Her perspective deepened when she met her husband, a three-tour Iraq veteran. Realizing she could offer him a new outlook from the Homefront, Angela discovered a unique way to contribute—by bridging the gap between service members and their loved ones.
When the opportunity arose to join the KBH Center and support its mission for veterans, she jumped at the chance. Angela is excited to bring her diverse passions together to make a meaningful impact on the community that helped shape who she is today.
