Colleen Reed,
Program Coordinator

I was born on an Army Base in Oklahoma and moved to Michigan when I was still wobbling around on two dimply legs...

Now, many years later, I still find myself here, in Michigan on the same two dimply legs, where a deep breath of the humid air triggers thoughts of drowning. The spiders are really quite manageable, easily squished with the toe of your shoe and the only scorpions you find are on the zodiac placemats in small dark restaurants.

Delta and CMU were both my stomping grounds. I now live on five acres in the country, where I don’t have to get out of my pajamas to feed the animals in the morning. I’m married with three teens that make me laugh each and every day. I’m still waiting for the hard part to come.

I love working here at Creative 360 because our differences and diversity are celebrated and encouraged here. You never know who is going to walk through those fiery red doors to open your eyes to something new, be it an idea, a thought, a poem, a painting . . . Each day is an exciting adventure to me.

I reside in Midland and am currently attending SVSU with plans to eventually earn a master’s degree in social work. My passion is people; the way we interact, how we are so diversified, etc. Creative 360 is this and so much more, that is why I am glad to be employed by such a great place.
