"A high level professional."
"I worked with Colleen during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and I had the pleasure of sharing this unique COVID Olympic experience with her both from a work perspective and friendship point of view. I consider her a very high-level professional, careful to detail, polite to everyone. I learned a lot from her." - Toni Bassi - Tokyo 2020 Venue Media Operations Lead
She Has What It Takes
"As an Olympic gold medalist, VP of a nonprofit, and Communications professional I have witnessed firsthand the remarkable impact of Colleen's media and communications support. Her talents reach beyond sports communications, extending into strategic planning, crisis management, event promotion, writing, and editing. From her years of working with Canada’s top athletes, I do not doubt that she has what it takes to help other profit and non-profit organizations achieve their own podium performances."
