Community & Peer Engagement Specialist | Recovery Coach
Angie Buggert has been a participant with Recovery Beyond since 2015, joining just as the program was finding its way to Tacoma, WA. Since joining she has had the honor of standing on the summit of some of the greatest mountains, staring out at some of the greatest views the PNW has to offer, including Mount Rainier, Mount Hood, and Mount Adams. Although her journey in recovery since 2015 has been filled with some low valleys and high peaks, she is thrilled to report she just recently celebrated 3 years of recovered living in December 2023!
She is a certified Peer Support Specialist in the state of Washington helping us welcome and onboard new participants, foster community partner relationships and provide recovery coaching services, as well as being involved in the 2024 Mountaineering Program.
She has always had a special place in her heart and soul for Recovery Beyond and attributes the volunteers, members, participants, and leaders all as instrumental in her decision to first join the Peer Advisory Board, become a Peer Lead, and eventually become a Staff Member. She is a bright light carrying the torch forward to encourage and lift others up in this new life experience and recovery adventure!
She currently resides in Pierce County with her two daughters.
