Biography
Ann is passionate about intercultural and global education and has over 30 years of experience designing and facilitating community-based courses and programs using critical, experiential, feminist, and decolonial and postcolonial pedagogies. She is proudly a dual citizen of Mexico and the U.S.A., who has been working in Cuernavaca, Mexico with Augsburg's Center for Global Education & Experience (CGEE) since August 1993. The primary fields that Ann teaches in are Religion; Gender, Sexuality, & Women's Studies, and Intercultural Communication.  

Ann has been very fortunate to have scholarships which have enabled her to pursue these formal studies, but her greatest education has always come from people working at the grassroots and from students and colleagues. She has been active in professional organizations including Catholics for Free Choice-Mexico (CDD-Mexico), the Ecumenical Association of Mexican Theologians (ATEM), the Confederation of Feminist Theologians and Researchers of Mexico, and TEPALI, la Red de Teologas, Pastoras, Activistas y Lideras Cristianas, as well as the American Academy of Religion (AAR), the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), Diversity Abroad, the Forum on Education Abroad, NAFSA, SIETAR-USA (the Society for Intercultural Education, Training, & Research), and the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA), among others.

Ann is passionate about immigration, women's rights, and LGBTQ+ rights, along with many other social justice issues. Her pronouns are she, her, hers.
