My name is Kate Macan and I have been employed here at Creighton for almost two years.  I am a native Kansas-Citian and I could talk your ear off about how much I love KC.  I feel blessed and honored to be the Director of the Cortina Community.  I am a Creighton grad and I studied theology and Spanish and minored in Justice and Peace Studies.  I was abroad for a semester in the DR, passed many wonderful hours facilitating ESL courses in the Omaha community and spent my mornings on Carter Lake with the Crew team. 

Following my graduation, I volunteered with Cap Corps Midwest in Managua, Nicaragua from 2009-2011.  I worked with underprivileged youth in an inner-city neighborhood teaching English courses, facilitating retreats and after school activities.  Most recently, I was working on a master’s degree in theological studies at the University of Notre Dame. 

In my spare time, I enjoy running, cooking and brewing beer. 

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to the online Daily Reflections.  I believe this effort will help me to grow and nurture my own spirituality and to become ever more aware of the presence of God in my daily life.
