Dr. Colleen grew up right around the corner from Gordon Orthodontics. Throughout her childhood, Dr. Colleen was known for always having a smile on her face. Her affinity for smiling was reinforced by her grandmother, who was always adamant about making sure Colleen brushed her teeth and took care of her smile. These childhood memories led her to declare at the age of 16, that she wanted to be an orthodontist so that she could help others achieve beautiful smiles.
After graduating from North Penn High School she then completed her undergraduate studies in Chemistry at Temple University. After graduation, Colleen attended Temple University’s School of Dentistry where she graduated at the top of her class Summa Cum Laude and was inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society.
She went on to earn a master's in Orthodontics from Saint Louis University, where she received training in the latest techniques and treatment strategies from the top orthodontic specialists in the country.
