She received her masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a focus in literacy from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. She grew up in Lake Forest Park with her parents and older brother. "I have a large extended family, and almost all of them live within 20 miles of me, which I feel very lucky for!" says Mrs. Collins. She now lives with her husband, Jeff, daughter, and dog, Riley.

"I love reading, running, soccer, spending quality time with my family and friends, golf (still learning - it's amazing what we'll do for our spouses), and of course, teaching. I am really looking forward to another year at such an amazing school.”
