About our October Mobility Club Speaker…
Moriches resident, Angela Pittala has been a strong advocate in the disabled community for over a decade. In 1998, she became a member of On the Move, a non-profit organization assisting disabled people in Suffolk County. While a member of the organization, she worked with both local and state governments to change local laws that infringed on disability rights. In 2001, Angela went on to earn a Master’s degree in Social Work from SUNY Stony Brook and volunteered at the Suffolk County Legislature. In 2008-2011 she resided in a small town outside of Syracuse, New York and served as an advocate at Arise Inc. where she helped to change housing, transportation and nursing home initiatives.
Today, Angela remains a strong advocate while working as a home-based travel agent for Travel Ports & Voyages. She serves everyone in her community, but specializes in travel for people with physical disabilities. She enjoys helping people create their dream vacation and putting a smile on their face. Angela says,” It’s like doing Social Work, but more fun”. Angela specializes in cruises, guided tours and hotel packages. For information email her at angelapittala@yahoo.com
