About Colleen

I work at American Corporate Partners, and am married to a proud Army veteran who served in Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2008-2009. We were stationed at Fort Riley, KS for most of Steve's time in service, with brief stints in Ft. Sill, OK and Ft. Knox, KY.

At ACP, I work closely with our Founder and leadership team to assist with functions such as technology, corporate and foundation relations, staffing, program management, veteran outreach and marketing.

Prior to joining ACP in 2010, I worked as a copy editor at a publishing company in New York, and then as a college writing instructor at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. My areas of expertise include writing & editing, project management, grant writing, and strategic communications.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and a Master’s Degree in English.

Outside of work, I live on Long Island and I’m a mom of three. I enjoy long distance running (have run 4 marathons and more than 15 half marathons!)
