Colleen lives on Matakana Island where she was born and raised by her grandparents. Life revolves around her whānau, hapu, marae, whenua and the small island community where everyone has a close affinity with the land and the sea.
She has experience in management and governance within the public and private sectors including community health and Kaupapa Māori health services. Currently she is the deputy chair of the Western Bay of Plenty PHO and a trustee of the Te Rangihouhiri Marae.
