Dr. Kristen Colleran, obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign and her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at University College Dublin, Ireland. Attending an all-girl’s Catholic high school instilled in her a sense of her strength and independence as a
woman, and the importance of Women Empowering Women. Energized by the Women’s March early in 2017, she founded the Indivisible group, Warrior Women for Equality in Brunswick County (IWWEB). An avid outdoorswoman, combining her love of the nature and of animals, logically translated into a desire
to maintain and promote a healthy environment. She, with her Warrior Women group, organized the 2017 Hands Across the Sand event in Sunset Beach. Kristen sits on the Board of Directors for Advocates for Animal Rights (AFAR) in Brunswick County and serves as the Board’s veterinary advisor. She has
recently assumed the position of Secretary of the Brunswick County Democratic Party.
