As the Advancement Director for St. Patrick Parish and School, I help spread the word about our wonderful school and preschool and promote all of the great things going on at St. Patrick Church. Our children Courtney and Jon attended St. Patrick School. Jon is a member of Columbus Catholic High School class of 2021.
I have worked in marketing for various companies and as a community volunteer, taught as an adjunct instructor at the University of Northern Iowa, and, prior to moving to Iowa, worked for Exxon as a geophysicist.
I wear many hats here at school. You will often see me taking photographs and videos around school and at events for the social media, the websites and other uses. I work with our local media, give tours, work on our annual appeal and other fundraisers, help plan events, and work on many types of promotional materials. I also serve as Yearbook Advisor and co-coordinator of the Leader in Me Lighthouse Team.
Many volunteers and staff members pitch in to help market our school. I think it shows how strongly people feel about our welcoming, faith-filled environment and outstanding academics.
