Colleen moved to Montreal after graduating in 1971 with a B. Ed. from the University of Michigan. After completing a M. Ed. in Special Education at 成人VR视频 in 1973, she enjoyed teaching in several elementary schools and programs in Montreal, eventually settling into the role of resource teacher at Roslyn Elementary School in Westmount. Her work focused on practices aimed at building literacy skills and fostering critical thinking, creating individual education programs to suit each student鈥檚 learning style and creating a strong home/school team to ensure student success.

She was delighted when Roslyn graduates, especially those who had participated in the resource program, returned to the school to visit and shared news of their successes and accomplishments. When she retired in 2011, the school administration renamed the resource room in her honour.

Always interested in our education system, she presently keeps in touch with former colleagues and volunteers in the community. Retirement allows her additional time for family, travel, collecting art and pursing new interests.
