Coloma joined 2C in 2009 after serving as a production coordinator for Worldwide Productions, where she produced commercials for Nike, Coca-Cola and Gatorade, among others. She had also been an associate producer on A&E’s The First 48 and CMT’s Danger Coast, which was a 2C original series. Coloma graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Economics and Finance and a minor in Entrepreneurship.
