Angela Rockwood Biography

Angela Rockwood life was practically perfect until turmoil struck in 2001. She and her two bridesmaids were driving home from a trip in San Francisco when her girlfriend spun out of control. Rockwood was in the backseat and was thrown through the side-rear triangular window suffering a broken neck and severed spinal cord; as a result she was diagnosed as a c4 quadriplegic.

When Rockwood awoke from surgery, she was given a 3 to 5 % chance of regaining any movement from the neck down. She felt her paralysis was for a reason, that she had a mission to fulfill. Unable to move or feel anything, she knew instantly she had two things left; life and her indomitable spirit. She stated she’s "had a huge choice to make: to turn a catastrophic situation into something extraordinary and to be a powerful voice for others in similar devastating situations”.

After her injury, she chose not to focus on the negative, but instead to go down a positive path, hoping to be an example for others and especially those in the disability community. Her tenacious attitude and purposeful personality allowed her to shatter the negative stereotypes as opposed to focusing on them. With her ultimate mission of pushing boundaries, she created, produced and stars in the Sundance Channel's, ‘’Critic’s Choice Awards’’, Best Reality series "Push Girls."

As an Ambassador for the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, Rockwood represents the Paralysis Resource Center in outreach to Asian-American communities. She serves as a spokes model for Ti-Lite Wheelchairs and has also worked as a model for Target, Nordstrom and Toyota. She has energized her acting career by landing in three national commercials for AARP, Mabelline, and Sony. Rockwood is also featured in "CinemAbility," a documentary directed by Jenni Gold which includes Ben Affleck, Jaime Foxx, and Jane Seymour.

Rockwood continues to fulfill her post-accident vision by sharing her own experience with hopes of creating a change within others that reignites the human will. She is passionately relentless in manifesting change and implementing new ideas within the entertainment industry.
