Before joining Partners in Mission, Kyle co-founded Duc In Altum Schools Collaborative (DIA) to provide a platform for Catholic educational leaders to network and strengthen the faith formation programming of K-12 schools. Prior to serving as DIA’s Executive Director, Kyle served as Head of School for Holy Spirit Preparatory School in Atlanta, GA, a pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade, independent Catholic school for seven years.

Kyle currently serves as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors for Ignatius House, a Jesuit retreat center in the Atlanta area. There, Kyle helped the center launch two initiatives that increased capacity by 61%, year-over-year, despite a global pandemic. At both Cristo Rey and Ignatius House, Kyle has served on the organizations’ development, mission and identity, search, and executive committees. In addition, Kyle has participated in several civic and ecclesial leadership programs, including Leadership Sandy Springs, Leadership Atlanta, and Catholic Charities Leadership.
