About Me
I have worked with students of all ages for the past thirty years. My unique experience of teaching in public schools and private universities, in corporate conference rooms and retirement recreational centers, has offered me the opportunity to work with students from all walks of life.
I have loved to write since I was a child. Writing has given me the gifts of solace, joy, and community. While I have published essays and poetry for the past forty years, I haven’t had a full book to share with the world until now. My memoir is the book I needed to read when I felt alone during infertility treatment and pregnancy loss. I hope its themes of grief and resilience will resonate with you.

What people are saying…
I’d like to think of myself as a good writer but, Colleen really helped me polish up my essays. She knows what the colleges are looking for, how to phrase it, and all the smaller details of essay writing. I attribute a good deal of my college acceptances to her aid.
I worked with Colleen during my senior year of high school and throughout college. She helped me correct several flaws in my writing technique and my grades on writing assignments drastically improved. As a fairly disorganized student, I often struggled to manage my time effectively, and had difficulty accomplishing long term-projects. Colleen helped me overcome my problems in these aspects by teaching me to plan ahead and recommending several strategies for spreading the work load of long-term projects over time.
Colleen has helped me elevate my critical reading and writing skills to a new level. I feel much more confident in my work, and have learned many productive methods for academic success.
