Meet the Interns!
Presenting the 2026 DPF Peace Interns
Hannah Wells (she/her)
Hannah is a graduate of Chapman University with BA in Peace Studies, who is originally from Long Beach, California.

Hannah is currently working as a nanny for a one-year-old boy, and serves on the Worship Team at First Christian Church Fullerton, California. In previous summers Hannah served as a 2024 Intern with Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice (CLUE-Justice) and as a part of the 2025 Green Chalice Justice and Creation Summer Fellowship. Fun Fact: Hannah has six cats, having grown up in a family that fostered a lot of little kitties and then inevitably kept a few!
Devereaux Knight (he/him)
Devereaux studies Religion and Politic Science at Texas Christian University. An MDiv. is his goal after college and he is discerning between ministry and academia. Born and raised in Overland Park, Kansas (just a little bit outside of Kansas City), Devereaux was an active member of the Regional Youth Ministry Council in the Greater Kansas Region during High School. Tall Oaks Camp and Conference Center is his home church camp. In his application he noted that he wants to talk about immigration this summer with a particular focus on Exodus 22:21 that tells us that “we should strive to treat immigrants in our country with grace and hospitality.” Fun Fact(s): Devereaux’s birthday is 1234 (December 3, 2004)!
