Campos holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Geosciences and Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University, and a degree in Mass Communications from the University of West Georgia. Angelica was born in San Jose, Costa Rica. At the early age of thirteen her family decided to move from tropical Costa Rica to the United States in early winter of December 1999.

 Experiencing her first  winter, you can only imagine Campos  and her family’s reaction to the cold bitter months. She later learned, it wasn’t  only the winter that drew a reaction, she  learned the U.S. had an array of weather  trends. Campos developed a curiosity and  passion for the ever-changing weather  across the United States.  She also had to learn a new language  and a new culture. Campos had a passion  for learning. Self-educating herself, she  used movies and books to learn English  quickly. She excelled in school, never  failing to get nothing more than A’s. Campos received several scholarships  after graduating from high school with  honors. She received a scholarship from  the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and a HOPE scholarship.  Her parents never  had the opportunity to finish high school,  not because they didn’t want to, but because of their circumstances. They knew  first hand life without a college education,  and so they encouraged her to go to college and to get an education. Campos likes to stay active  and loves to work out. She  completed her first marathon  in November of 2007. She enjoys triathlons, obstacle races  like the Warrior Dash, and  Muddy Buddy. You can also  find her riding her motorcycle,  hiking, mountain biking, and  walking her little MaltesePoodle, Charley.  In her spare time, she enjoys participating in community events and giving back. She  is part of the Big Brothers Big  Sisters. She has raised money  for the American Diabetes Association and the Ghost Rider  Foundation helping Veterans  recover from Post Traumatic  Stress Syndrome. 

Campos was named one of  Cleveland’s Most Interesting  People in 2011. Kaleidoscope  Magazine  inducted her into  its Forty/Forty Club, which  recognizes Clevelanders under  the age of 40 who are making  a difference.  Angelica hopes to get  more involved with the youth  of the Latino community in  northeast Ohio. She is a big  supporter of Esperanza of  Cleveland, a group dedicated  to students in Northeast Ohio.  She is a firm believer that with  hard work and dedication you  can achieve your goals in life.  Campos also believes that her  family’s support is very important to her.
