Annie joins the Pace e Bene team as an intern from the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley, a member of the Graduate Theological Union. She is in her second year of studies in the Master of Divinity program, preparing for lay ministry in the Roman Catholic Church.
Annie is originally from Glendora, CA, a small town in Los Angeles county. She completed her undergraduate studies at Santa Clara University, where she earned dual degrees in Political Science and Religion Studies with an emphasis on Catholic Studies in 2005. After spending a semester in Rome, Italy (yes, she can say “Pace e Bene” in a great Italian accent), she became intrigued by nonviolence in the Catholic tradition. She went on to research and write her thesis on the interaction of pacifism and just war theory in the Catholic Church.
After graduation, Annie spent a year in the best city in the entire world, Detroit, Michigan. She was a member of Jesuit Volunteer Corps, a program guided by the valued of community, social justice, spirituality, and simple living. While in Detroit, Annie worked at Alternatives for Girls, a grassroots organization in Southwest Detroit that empowers girls and women, ages 0 to 100. After leaving Detroit, she served as a Resident Minister at the University of San Francisco. She loves dogs, sushi, gelato, the Detroit Tigers and quoting the television show, “The Office.”
While at Pace e Bene, Annie will be working with St. Columba Parish in Oakland.
