Colleen thrives on the fast-paced rhythm of agency life — one day planning a media event in NYC, the next landing a product on a must-have media list. A lifelong writer, she was drawn to PR for its mix of creativity, strategy, and storytelling. Since entering the industry in 2019, she’s carved out a niche in lifestyle and consumer PR, bringing fresh energy and thoughtful execution to our accounts.
She began her career in hospitality PR, representing top chefs, restaurants, and hotels nationwide. At 3rd Coast PR, she leads media and influencer programs for CPG and lifestyle brands, while supporting strategic communications for B2B clients. Her favorite part of the job is immersing herself in each client’s world — researching trends, tracking industry voices, and identifying the angles that set brands apart. And of course, few things top the thrill of landing a killer placement that truly moves the needle.
Originally from Cincinnati and coastal North Carolina, Colleen now calls Chicago home. Outside of work, you’ll find her planning her next international adventure, flowing through a hot yoga class, or laughing through a comedy podcast queue.
