Simerman’s responsibilities include marketing and communication activities for the diocese, business management of Today’s Catholic, coordination of the weekly TV Mass and management of 7th Floor Productions.

In 2001, Simerman obtained a bachelor’s degree in communication from Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne with a concentration in interpersonal communication and a Spanish minor. She has more than 15 years of experience in the fields of marketing, communications, multimedia and public relations for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Most recently, she was the marketing director for a civil engineering firm with four office locations serving communities across the state of Indiana.

Of her new position, Simerman said she feels “blessed to be a part of an amazing communications team whose commitment and love for their faith shines through their daily interactions and creative process.”
