Treasurer

Originally from Virginia, Bert found his way to the Land of Enchantment after retiring from the US Air Force.  While in the US Air Force, he gained extensive experience in budget forecasting, analysis, and execution as well as project management.  Arriving in Albuquerque in 2011, Bert was employed as a General Engineer for the Department of Energy on Kirtland Air Force Base.  He has a passion for service and has actively participated in the Albuquerque community with Habit for Humanity, Catholic Charities, Mobile Food Pantry, and as an AARP Tax Aide.

His road to working with Inhora has been both surprising and rewarding since his time as a Bomb Disposal Technician in the military.

Community Relations

● What is your current professional role or past relevant roles?

○ Ryan is a weekday morning meteorologist for KRQE News 13 in

Albuquerque, and he had a similar role in Midland & Odessa in West Texas.

He likes to volunteer for those in need and/or be involved in the community,

whether it be the sick, at Church, out in the streets, or for family & friends.

● Why were you drawn to Inhora's mission?

○ Ryan heard about Inhora's key role in the community through a bible study

meeting very close by at the Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in

Downtown, as he felt called to help out the "poor in spirit." He thinks it's so

important to have that sense of home that Inhora provides to the patients

when they move on from this life to hopefully into Heaven as he believes it's

our role to provide that pathway to patients with God's ultimate help.

● What's one fun/surprising thing about you outside of work?

○ Ryan is from Northeast New Jersey and as an Italian, he loves to eat

spaghetti and meatballs with marinara sauce!

Chair of Education

Micah is currently a nurse navigator at the NM VA Hospital. She has been a nurse for over 25 years and completed her Master’s degree in Nursing Education last year. Micah is drawn to Inhora’s mission because it addresses a significant need in our community with a Christ-like approach. Inhora’s vision aligns with God’s vision for how we care for one another, which is reflected in James 1:27. This verse defines pure religion as actively caring for vulnerable people, particularly orphans and widows in their time of need, while also maintaining personal integrity by remaining unaffected by the corrupt world. It emphasizes practical compassion and moral integrity as crucial aspects of faith. 

In addition to her professional work, Micah enjoys serving at her church in the children’s ministry and is a co-leader in a Girl Scout troop. She is also a mom to two teenagers and two mixed-breed dogs.

Spiritual Advisor

Father Kevin Obiesie is a newly ordained priest currently assigned to the Aquinas Newman Center.

Founding Chairwoman, Tenure 2023-2025

My name is Victoria Pruitt, but I go by Tory. I was born and currently live in Albuquerque, NM. I am a single mother of 2 wonderful boys and grandmother to my beloved granddaughter. I come from a generational family, traced back to the Spaniards and with lineage from Ireland. I received an AA in Family Studies ECECD, and a BSW, MSW from Highlands University.

For most of my life, I have worked with families, all ages of children, and with special needs children and adults. The last 13 years of my career have been in Administration of a 501 (c)3 non-profit school.

My cousin Erick inspired my passion for Inhora. He died alone from mental illness and addiction. If there had been a place like Inhora, our large family could have been with him so he wouldn’t have died alone. My vision for Inhora is that no one will have to die alone.
