Ali Butiste
My husband Steve and I have been parishioners at OLG since 2009. Our son Brady (12) will be in 7th grade, and our daughter Claire (9) will be in 4th grade. We love and appreciate our “OLG family.” We are grateful and feel honored to serve our school and parish. Steve volunteers to coach several CYO sports. I have been involved in many fundraising events, including working on the OLG Grace Gala Sponsorship Committee, assisting with the OLG Golf Outing, coordinating the Holiday Greenery Sale, and supporting our school and church in any way we can. Steve runs our family business, Creative Outdoor Living, and I have a passion for working with seniors and work as a Healthcare Administrator serving seniors around the state of Indiana. We love to go camping as a family and make memories when we aren’t cheering the kids on at a sporting event.

Hello OLG families! I am looking forward to serving on the 2022-23 PTO and making this the best school year yet! I have been married to my husband, Dave, for 14 years, who is also actively involved in our school. I grew up in OLG parish as a kid and could not stand to be away when moving to Colorado for several years…we found ourselves returning to our home state to start our family. We have 3 vivacious kids in our school, Gus (6th grade), Maisie (4th grade), and Mac (2nd grade). As a family we enjoy road trips, playing and watching all sports (especially football, basketball, soccer, golf, and baseball), and love hanging out with family and friends. I have worked with children at Riley Hospital as a nurse practitioner for the last 14 years. I absolutely love being involved in the kiddos classroom and have been involved with Grace Gala Committee the last several years. In all my spare time…I can’t wait to serve our school in the up-coming year.

Jessica Bricking
My name is Jessica Bricking, and our family joined the OLG school in early 2021 and we are so excited to be here! My husband Kevin and I work together at our business located in Carmel, and we have three boys that keep us busy with their sports and activities. Our oldest is heading to the state of Michigan to swim and study at Aquinas College this fall. We have a junior at Guerin Catholic, and our youngest (Hank) is entering the 8th grade at OLG. We are so grateful for Catholic education and love the community, faith, and support. This is my second year serving on PTO as secretary and I am so excited for all the fun activities planned to engage everyone in the OLG school family.

Hello OLG Families! My husband, Brandon and I have been parishioners at OLG for the last four years, and we love being part of this faith and school community! We have been married for almost 8 years, and we have two boys at OLG - Samuel (1st grade) and Thomas (Pre-k). Both of our boys love their teachers, classmates, and countless helpers that make each of their days special. The school has welcomed Samuel and Thomas with open arms and has made their first school experiences special and seamless! Brandon and I have each embraced becoming a larger part of our church and school, with each of us joining numerous groups, volunteering our time, and getting closer and closer to the OLG community. Our family also has two spoiled puppies - Luna and Fridge, who enjoy boating and taking vacations with our boys! I am so very excited to be part of the PTO this year and look forward to the challenges and rewards this will bring. The Lord has blessed our family with so many graces, and we are so happy to be part of this community!

Hello! My husband Troy and I have two children that attend OLG. Zander is a 7th grader and Zoe is a 2nd grader and we also have three adult children and three grandchildren in our beautiful, blended family.
I own a digital marketing company (WSI Digital Marketing) and a trade show company (Indiana Wedding Shows). I have been on a few different association boards and helped the PTO at our previous school. I enjoy being a room parent, helping in the cafeteria, and being on the Grace Gala Committee. This will be our third year at the parish and school, and my second year on the PTO. I feel very blessed to be able to be a part of this awesome community.

Whitney Diggs
Hi! My name is Whitney Diggs. My husband, Aaron, and I have 3 kids attending OLG. Ashton will be in 6th grade, Finley in 3 rd grade, and Dallas in Pre-K. This is my third year as an OLG parent, and I have loved being a part of this family. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and reading. Professionally, I have worked as a teacher in the Carmel Clay Schools, but I have stepped away to take care of my family and volunteer. We have a wonderful school with dedicated teachers and amazing families. I look forward to a great year!

OLG families, it is a joy to serve you and our school on the 2022-2023 PTO! I have been married to my husband Josh for 13 years and for the first time we have all THREE of our children in one school (that deserves the happy dance, right?!). Claire is a 4th grader, Max is a 2nd grader, and Sammy is a new Kindergartener. We made the change to OLG last school year and have been so pleased with our decision: the faith-based curriculum, the awesome teachers & staff, opportunities for parents to be involved, and a school community like no other-- we love OLG! As a family we love to be active and outdoors: skiing, biking, hiking, golfing, traveling, and cheering our kids on in all their activities. I am a former educator turned personal trainer and I currently run my own fitness and nutrition business: Hollie Nicholson Wellness. I love volunteering in the classroom and serving our school and I can't wait for another great year at OLG.

Abby Miller
My name is Abby Miller, and I am so excited to be a part of the OLG PTO this year! My husband Denny and I have 2 wonderful boys, Charles (Pre-K) and Harrison (age 1). We live in Fishers, but I grew-up in Noblesville attending Our Lady of Grace. I graduated from the University of Dayton (2009) and am beginning my 14th year of teaching this year, with both Catholic school and public-school experience. My favorite summer memory was traveling to Cincinnati to visit family and staying at Great Wolf Lodge. I look forward to working with the PTO to make sure the preschool parents feel connected to the school and helping make this a fantastic school year!

My husband, Ryan, and I currently live in Westfield and have been married for 8 years. We have one son, Jackson, who is starting First Grade this year and one daughter, Averie, who will be in Beginners. We have two Golden Labradors who truly are our furry family members. I spent the majority of my adult life as an ER Nurse and put my career on pause to focus on raising our young children. As a family, we enjoy sporting events, traveling, and spending the majority of our free time outside. In my spare time, I enjoy watching Jackson play baseball and Averie do gymnastics, but I really love listening to crime and mystery podcasts.
