Colleen Brickman completed a B.S. in Environmental Horticulture in 2014 at
Virginia Tech. After working in a public garden for 3 years and a
short spurt in retail management, she found her joy in working in the
healthcare field. Still partially on the retail side, she worked as an
optical assistant to sell glasses for patients at an ophthalmology
practice. She is working towards optician creditizations and licensure.
She has always enjoyed singing but has a newfound interest in
learning the ukulele. Listening to podcasts has been her main outlet
for exploration because there is such a vast assortment of topics and
speakers. While crafting has been a long-term interest, she has found
another creative outlet in gardening. Her long-term career goal is to continue supporting and educating people to understand how to best care for themselves. She has always enjoyed listening to the experiences patients share during their time together and have found they often appreciate a listening ear.
