In 2014, she graduated with her degree in resort and hospitality management and was promoted to Service Manager and later transitioned into sales and marketing. In her new role, Collins will be responsible for implementing the theatre's sales and marketing plans, public relations initiatives, publicity/promotional events, social media, and the theatre's website.
