As the Teen Programs Supervisor at the Houston Zoo, Colleen works to cultivate the next generation of conservation leaders by mentoring teens at the Zoo, exposing them to the variety of careers within the conservation field, and connecting them to nature through adventure programs around Houston and internationally.

Colleen has worked in the conservation and environmental education field since 2013. She has experience in many environmental education non-profit organizations and in several AZA institutions including Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Sea World Orlando, and currently the Houston Zoo. She hopes to utilize her skills and experience to support the IZEA community.
