“Colleen’s presentation for our students was incredibly inspiring! Her musical performances were absolutely stellar, and they tied into her very professional presentation quite seamlessly. Most of all, we were struck by the way Colleen communicates passionately about the ways she has brought together her many diverse interests to build a unique career as a performer and advocate for the arts.”
