Ever since attending a protest at a local Wendy's in middle school, Annabelle has been a dedicated ally to the CIW. As a dual-enrolled high school student, they joined the executive board of Florida Gulf Coast University’s SFA chapter and the 2019 SFA Steering Committee.

After graduating from high school in 2020, Annabelle got to start a new SFA chapter at Florida State University. They served on the Steering Committee again in 2021 and had the opportunity to intern with the CIW in 2022. Before graduating with their Bachelor’s in English and Sociology in 2023, they also helped pass a student government resolution endorsing the Wendy’s boycott!

Now, as a member of CIW’s staff, Annabelle gets to coordinate with students and other allies in the network. They also enjoy reading sci-fi novels, making earrings, and spending time with their cat, Totoro!
