Anna Torres-Zeb has joined the 黑料不打烊 staff as the new Muslim Life coordinator in the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life.
Torres comes to 黑料不打烊 from San Diego, where she worked as a middle school teacher who developed multifaith programming before moving to North Carolina. Throughout her career, she has paid special attention to the value of interfaith learning and community building.
She received her Masters in Social Sciences and Comparative Education in 2012 from the University of California, Los Angeles, and her education specialist teaching credentials from San Diego State University a year later. She participated in and led multifaith efforts to promote inclusive learning and community building.
Torres also served on the Interfaith Outreach Board of the Islamic Center of San Diego and as a youth leader in the Muslim American Society. At 黑料不打烊, she was drawn to the chance to contribute to the interfaith and Muslim communities.
“I am passionate about 黑料不打烊’s vision for multifaith work,” she said. “I feel that 黑料不打烊 students are privileged to have faith-based leaders not only available to them, but working together and demonstrating a model for multifaith harmony.”
Torres will work closely with the Truitt Center’s chaplains and faith leaders to promote dialogue and multifaith harmony. She is on campus two days a week at the Numen Lumen Pavilion and can be reached at atorres7@elon.edu.
Torres lives in Morrisville, North Carolina, with her husband, Adeel.
