The Hidden Hustle

Angela Jones is the owner of Sylvan Learning Center in Altoona, Iowa. With a background in marketing, brand strategy, and community engagement, Angela spent over a decade leading initiatives for companies like Jordan Creek Town Center and Glen Oaks Country Club. But when her daughter began struggling in school, everything changed. What started as a personal mission to find the right support turned into an eight-year dream — and eventually a leap into franchise ownership. Angela now leads her Sylvan center with purpose, grit, and a deep passion for helping students grow in both skill and confidence. Her story is one of heart, hustle, and the power of trusting your timing.
