Colleen grew up in Woodridge, Illinois (not familiar? it's between Naperville and Bolingbrook) and started practicing improv at Backline Theater in Omaha. Now back for her second "tour" in Manhattan, KS with her husband John, she works at K-State’s Staley School of Leadership. Colleen teaches youth and adult improv classes, encouraging authentic choices, being a good partner, and having fun. Her homes of record for the last 10 years spans Georgia, Mississippi, Germany, and Nebraska, but Manhattan has always felt like home.
Colleen has a Bachelor of Science in hospitality from the Southern Illinois University, go dawgs!, and in her free time likes to explore pet friendly patios with her trusty companions, Nutiket and Allowat (iykyk).
