During the Summer 2025 term in my CWV‑101 Christian Worldview course, I had the privilege of working with Anna Baleto as she developed her Benchmark “Gospel Essentials” essay. Anna consistently approached complex theological themes, such as the nature of God, humanity, Jesus, and restoration, with genuine curiosity and a reflective, personal voice. What stood out most was her ability to connect doctrine with everyday life, expressing how her Catholic faith and experience in worship, Scripture, and community deepened her understanding of the Christian story. Seeing her now extend that same creativity and heart into Anna Banana’s Creations and her broader storytelling work is no surprise, and I am confident she will continue to use her writing and design gifts to encourage, uplift, and inspire others.
