Most recently, she worked on the two-time Emmy Award-winning series “Super Soul Sunday,” featuring Oprah Winfrey’s interviews with today’s top thinkers, visionaries and spiritual leaders.

In her spare time, Colleen enjoys running, reading, traveling and volunteering with Globe Aware, a non-profit that develops short-term international volunteer programs.
