Colleen is best known for her multi-season arc as Inara on the ABC/Shondaland series STATION 19. Her performance as a survivor of domestic violence, a fiery protector of her Deaf son, and her heartwarming romance with firefighter Jack Gibson made her a fan favorite. Her body of work includes dozens of prime time guest starring performances, most recently on CHICAGO MED, THE ROOKIE, and a recurring role on QUANTUM LEAP.
In 2007, she made her feature film debut in the Academy Award winning film THERE WILL BE BLOOD, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Daniel Day-Lewis.
Colleen originated the role of Lindsay in QUID PRO QUO at the Kennedy Center and understudied the role of Laura in THE GLASS MENAGERIE at the Mark Taper Forum. She spent a year touring the country as Alice in ALICE IN WONDERLAND with the National Theatre of the Deaf, as the only hearing member of the Company. Colleen has been fluent in American Sign Language for 25 years and is a strong ally to the Deaf community.
Colleen pulls from her direct experience of auditioning, booking, and being written for, and passes that knowledge along to her students. She began serving as a coach and teacher at SKS in 2010 and is proud to be Studio Director. In 2022 Colleen served as remote on set coach for the Netflix hit series XO, KITTY.
"The teachers at SKS are able to instantaneously discover weaknesses an actor may be unaware of. They have an amazing gift of being able to effectively and honestly communicate with the actor allowing for immediate growth and change. SKS has helped me hone my craft in a way no other studio has yet. Thank you!"
-Alan Ritchson (REACHER, Series Lead)

"SKS has helped me find MYSELF in my acting again! For years I was so focused on trying to give casting what I thought they wanted, and I forgot to bring myself to every character. SKS has shown me that the most unique thing you can be as an actor is YOURSELF. That you should trust your instincts and your impulses, and never dim your own light. The studio is a safe, supportive and encouraging space to have fun, play, and be yourself."

"My life completely changed after my 1st consultation at SKS. After 7 months of working there, I found a manager and theatrical agent, went through my first pilot season, and booked a Series Regular on a multicam show. If you want to be a WORKING actor, this is where working actors train."
