President of the IPF Foundation

I am honored to serve as the President of the IPF Foundation, having been welcomed warmly by the Institute for Priestly Formation (IPF) community. The kindness and generosity I've experienced here affirm the supportive environment that I believe everyone connected with IPF has felt. I look forward to contributing to the Foundation’s growth and furthering its mission.

My professional journey began in the credit card industry, where I worked as an Operations Trainer and Project Manager at First Data Resources (now Fiserv). After earning a Master of Arts in Teaching from the College of Saint Mary, I spent many years teaching math at Skutt Catholic High School in Omaha. Later, I transitioned to development work at Skutt Catholic, focusing on alumni relations, fundraising, and overseeing a successful capital campaign that funded significant improvements, including a new Performing Arts Center.

A proud native of Omaha, I grew up in the Benson area and attended St. Bernard Catholic Grade School and Roncalli Catholic High School. My husband, Dan, and I are active members of the St. Matthew Catholic Community in Bellevue, Nebraska, where we raised our four children, all of whom attended Catholic schools in the area. I am excited to contribute to the IPF Foundation’s continued success and to deepen relationships with those who share our mission.

Thank you for visiting the Institute for Priestly Formation website. The IPF Foundation team is dedicated to the important Mission and Vision of the Institute.
