Before joining EPPC in July 2007, Anne graduated magna cum laude from Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois with a degree in Philosophy and International Relations. While at Wheaton she served as a teaching assistant for specialist in epistemological studies Dr. Jay Wood and assisted Dr. Mark Amstutz in examining the role of ethics in foreign affairs, political forgiveness in war-torn countries, and the person and works of Reinhold Neibuhr. Anne also studied religion and global politics under Samuel Huntington for one semester at Harvard University, where she became interested in questions of national identity and ethno-religious conflict. 

Her professional experiences have included working at State Street Global Markets in Boston, interning for the Center for International Private Enterprise in Washington, DC, participating on grant review panels for the Trafficking in Persons Program with the US Department of Health & Human Services, and leading an extensive service trip to rural Honduras in which thirty college students funded and built a gravity-fed water system.
