She also began training as a voice actor.

She polished her business acumen during the Covid-19 pandemic working outside of the arts, managing two boutique fitness studios. While serving as Operations Manager, Colleen managed day to day interactions, sales , and marketing - writing copy, communications and managing social media. By day, teaching barre, by night, developing her voiceover career. While she still teaches Barre classes regularly, Colleen is thrilled to be a full time Voice Actor.

Colleen has been a military spouse for over a decade. Her nomadic life has been an adventure - opening opportunities (and challenges) in places she never imagined; but her favorite is the adventure of being a mom to her two kids. She resides with her family in the Washington, D.C. region (for now).
