Colette’s versatility and ability to thrive in fast-paced environments enable her to serve clients with efficiency and focus. Internally, her commitment to clear communication, openness to feedback, and emphasis on collaboration make her a vital contributor to achieving positive outcomes for our clients.
Away from the office, Colette loves exploring new restaurants across the Twin Cities, playing the viola (which she began in third grade), and volunteering with Wills for Heroes and Twin Cities Fight for Air Climb.
