Colleen, a native San Franciscan, moved to Los Angeles in her early twenties and lived there for four decades before relocating to Sonoma County in 2017 with her husband, Joe. She enjoyed two rewarding careers, with the second focused on education. As part of a visionary team, she helped establish an independent school offering progressive education from kindergarten through high school. Serving initially as a trustee, Colleen later became Chief Advancement Officer, leading successful marketing, communications, and fundraising efforts. She was elected to and served on the West LA Neighborhood Council for 11 years.
Upon arriving in Sonoma County, Colleen sought local service opportunities and joined Impact 100 Redwood Circle. She has since contributed to the organization by serving on the DEI Task Force, co-chairing the Community Grants Committee, and participating in the Governance Task Force and leadership teams. Colleen is deeply inspired by the experience, knowledge, and dedication of the women she works alongside and remains committed to supporting her community through service and collaboration.
