As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Ms. Collins has established a distinguished career as a senior immigration specialist at Cognizant, where she has contributed her expertise for 11 years. Based in College Station, she oversees the processing of approximately 1,700 immigration applications each month, balancing the integration of digital solutions with traditional paperwork. Her responsibilities include ensuring all applications for H-1B petition filings are processed efficiently, guiding her team through comprehensive workflow processes, including mail handling and document scanning for timely uploads into system applications. With a strong operational background, she has streamlined procedures, integrated new tools, and applied data-driven strategies to enhance productivity and reduce inefficiencies. She recently began learning the STEM OPT I-9 process to expand her knowledge of student employment protocols. As a team lead, she delegates tasks strategically, fosters a collaborative and growth-oriented environment, and manages multiple projects to meet performance goals. Her proactive approach to troubleshooting and commitment to continuous improvement have contributed to smoother operations and stronger cross-functional partnerships.
Since assuming her current role in 2014, Ms. Collins has demonstrated a remarkable ability to adapt her business administration background to the legal and regulatory complexities of immigration services. Despite not having formal legal training, she brought a fresh perspective to her team by streamlining previously manual processes that relied heavily on books and key entries. She developed and implemented systems to manage delivery operations and workflow, particularly in collaboration with offshore teams. By identifying areas of success and those needing improvement, Ms. Collins ensured that no detail was overlooked. Her focus on simplifying rather than complicating procedures marked a significant shift from earlier methods.
Ms. Collins is also recognized for her commitment to innovation within her department. She actively explores the integration of generative artificial intelligence to improve workflows and automate routine tasks, enhancing efficiency and learning opportunities for her team. Her dedication to continuous improvement is further reflected in her research into trends and updates related to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, positioning her as a valuable resource for remote teammates.
Throughout her tenure at Cognizant, Ms. Collins has taken pride in her ability to absorb and understand complex regulations in immigration law quickly. She considers her adaptability and enthusiasm for ongoing learning among her most significant professional achievements. The flexibility of her position and the continuous growth opportunities have provided her joy and fulfillment.

The knowledge gained through this program has been instrumental in equipping her with the analytical skills necessary to optimize workflow processes and manage large-scale operations effectively. She attributes much of her success to the unwavering support of her husband and parents, as well as encouragement from siblings residing in Canada.
Ms. Collins's entry into the field was shaped by personal experience after returning to the United States from South Korea, where she spent six years as a stay-at-home mother. Upon re-entering the workforce, she accepted a contract position with Cognizant that introduced her to immigration processes—a field that was entirely new to her at the time. Motivated by a desire to help others and an eagerness to learn, she quickly adapted her business acumen to meet the demands of her new role.
Born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Ms. Collins is dedicated not only to her professional pursuits but also to maintaining an active lifestyle through exercise and physical activities.
