Angelica grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised by a family practice physician and a beautiful librarian.  She is the youngest of four children with one older sister and two older brothers. As a child the only way her mother could get her to take a bath was if they spoke in Southern Louisiana dialects and "Jelli" was treated like a  Creole princess.  She proceeded to compete as a national finalist in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival for consecutive years, setting a historic record at her college, and has most recently been a part of the Non-Equity Theatre Company with the Williamstown Theatre Festival.  Angelica is now pursuing her career in acting in Chicago.
