I came to San Diego from the Central Valley in 2011 and have been at MiraCosta College
since 2014. During my tenure, I have served as an associate faculty member in Nursing
and Allied Health, transitioning into Student Health Services as a Nurse Practitioner
in 2021. My nursing background includes acute care nursing in telemetry and step-down/observation,
medical-surgical patient education, and nursing academia.

Colleen Veneri (she/her/hers), FNP-C
Nurse Practitioner - San Elijo Campus
I received my Master's in Nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner (NP) certification
from the University of California San Francisco in 1991. I worked in the Community
Clinic system for over 23 years and I have worked in MiraCosta Health Services for
over 25 years. My approach in providing medical care to our students is to listen
carefully, obtain a complete mental and physical health history, and establish a treatment
plan together with the student. In addition to my training as an RN and FNP, I received
academic training in Fine Arts with a focus on Painting and Life Drawing. I balance
my NP medical work with art and each of these fields favorably influences the other.
