Colleen is a former licensed funeral director and corporate culture leader whose career spans retail, tech, and entrepreneurship. Early in her career, she worked with grieving families — an experience that shaped how she thinks about time, choice, and the things people put off.

She later led inclusion and belonging strategies at companies like Nordstrom, Petco, and Amazon before leaving corporate leadership in 2024 to build businesses full time, including a growing multi-location self-serve dog wash in San Diego.

Across every chapter of her work, one belief stays the same: time is limited — possibility isn’t.
