Aline Zanini is direct response manager for Catholic Answers. Among her responsibilities are the design and management of the online fundraising campaigns for catholic.com as well as the handling of many logistical aspects of the apostolate’s detailed direct-mail fundraising appeals.
Initially, Aline came to Catholic Answers in 2013 as a customer service team member. She had previously held several customer service roles in the travel industry, working as a consultant and coordinating hotel and airline bookings.
Holding a certification in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) from the Colorado School of English, Aline earned her bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Literature from San Diego State University. The native Chicagoan is passionate about world languages and cultures and has studied Spanish, French, and Portuguese.
A Catholic Answers Live! radio listener for many years, Aline remembers telling her son while living in Colorado that she sensed she would one day work for Catholic Answers. Her two sons are now grown, and she also has two grandsons. She enjoys travel, has lived in Scotland, Italy, and Mexico, and hopes to eventually visit the Holy Land.
A Lay Carmelite known within the apostolate as a dedicated prayer warrior, Aline has a deep devotion to the Lord and desires that all know the love and mercy of God through the Catholic faith. She and her husband, Joe, were married in December 2021, and the couple resides in Colorado.
