BIO
Pulling from her own experience as an immigrant from a Mexican border town, Angela writes dramas and dramedies that often feature fish-out-of-water characters striving to make an impact.
As a TV writer, she staffed on the CW show KUNG FU and the WBTV series OVER MY DEAD BODY. Previously, she was the Writers' Assistant on SACRIFICE starring Paula Patton for BET, and she also co-wrote an episode. She won the Screencraft TV Pilot Competition in the Sci-Fi and Fantasy category for her pilot SEARCH, while her most recent pilot THE CAUSE was a finalist for the Alfred P Sloan Grant through the Sundance Episodic Lab.
Angela is also a producer and director. She has produced some of the most ambitious videos for Donut Media, America’s largest automobile YouTube channel, and directed branded content for a myriad of clients, including Meta, IBM, American Express, and Marriott. Her short film for Cornetto was nominated for a Shots Young Directors Award at Cannes Lions.
Angela is repped by Ken Freimann at Circle of Confusion. She holds a B.A. in Film Studies from Yale University and is an alumna of NALIP's writer's lab and NHMC's TV writing fellowship. She is also a TV Academy and WGA West member.
In her spare time, Angela loves taking photos. Head over to angelatrevinophoto.com to see some of these images.
