Anna, who goes by Gaby, was born and raised in Los Angeles and graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a Bachelor of Arts in theological studies. Most recently, she earned her Master of Divinity from Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. Her research focuses on reinterpreting Scripture and Catholic tradition in ways that uplift women. She has worked for Catholic organizations such as America magazine, Emory’s Aquinas Center, and the Holy See’s diplomatic office in Vienna, Austria. She is currently the youth minister at St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Decatur, Georgia, where her vocation manifests in empowering teenage girls. An ardent supporter of the Atlanta Hawks and the owner of three rescue animals — two black cats and a small dog — Gabby loves hot yoga, playing Dungeons & Dragons, and cooking for her loved ones.
