Brief Bio:

Colleen was born and raised in Niagara County, moved away for college and returned 21 years later in 2007.   Her experiences in New York City, New Jersey and selling homes in the Luxury Market of Marco Island Florida and vacation properties of the Orlando Community of Celebration gives her a great insight on how things can be in Niagara Falls.   Colleen has traveled all over the United States and Europe on business and understands what it is that tourists are looking for when they venture to a new place.  When not growing her Real Estate practice or volunteering for Niagara Rises Colleen has a variety of interests that keep her busy.

A bridge between Buffalo and Niagara Falls has been built under Colleen with the cooperative partnership with Marti Gorman of Buffalo’s Citybration where we have extended their Homecoming concept.   Colleen developed the Niagara Rises Internet presence with our website, Facebook and Twitter presence.   Colleen also started the wildly popular “Still Fallin’ For the Falls” Happy Hours that we have each month that are now run by Rick and Ann Smith.

Why Niagara Rises:

Why not?   Niagara Falls has lost it’s identity.   Niagara Falls residents have lost hope.   We need to reach those that care band together and build a new Niagara Falls.
