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.
