Colleen began her healthcare career in 2001 as a dietary aide in a nursing home and later worked as a CNA in hospital, assisted living, home health and hospice settings. She joined the Silverado family in 2018 as a Personal Attendant and later served as a Patient Care Coordinator with Silverado OC Hospice.

Rooted in her Native American culture, Colleen was taught to honor and care for her elders. Caring for her grandmother on hospice inspired her to dedicate her career to supporting others with compassion, joy and dignity.
In her free time, Colleen enjoys spending time with her husband, traveling to visit family, attending Samoan reunions, exploring the Midwest, creating art, cooking and visiting Disneyland or the beach whenever she can.
