She then landed a repair job at Deltronics, an audio repair shop in Illinois, where her love for guitar amps flourished. Colleen attributes much of her progress to the patient teachings of the shop owner, Mike Delvalle. After moving to Los Angeles in 2019, Colleen began working as a repair technician at Revamp with Andy Arahood, who became another pillar in her tube amp journey. Now, she is repairing and building amps out of her own workshop in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles.
