Before joining MICA's faculty in 2008, she was a tenured associate professor in the undergraduate program in photography at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

During the summer of 2014, Colette was hired as a consultant at Central University of Technology (CUT) in Bloemfontein, South Africa. During her time at CUT, Colette advised and helped to develop the Department of Design and Studio Art's new curriculum for their advanced and postgraduate diploma's, as well as the development of three new masters degrees. This new structure will follow the recently implemented new undergraduate qualification, a Diploma in Design and Studio Art, which is South Africa's first undergraduate interdisciplinary qualification. In addition to curriculum development, Colette administered classroom development workshops for students and faculty.
