Angie Mason-Smith

Angie Mason-Smith serves as Senior Program Officer at Washington STEM where she designs and implements innovative and scalable programs to advance STEM education in Washington state. Her work focuses on excellent, equitable, and engaging K-12 STEM learning, STEM career and college pathways, and STEM literacy.

Prior to joining Washington STEM, Angie served as the Core Plus Project Coordinator for Washington’s Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) where she led the development of career pathways for Advanced Manufacturing, Aerospace, Construction, and Maritime programs, connecting education outcomes to industry workforce needs and creating well-lit paths for students to pursue living-wage careers. Prior to her time at OSPI, she was the Executive Director of the Central Oregon STEM Hub.

Angie had an untraditional path to her career in education, first working 15 years in college athletics. She values her time in college athletics, where she supported a diverse population of at-risk student athletes as a learning specialist. Those experiences serve as a constant reminder of the need to prioritize more access, opportunities, and inclusion for students furthest from educational justice.

Angie completed her BS in Business Administration at Oregon State University and her MEd at the University of Washington.
