She has been a part of the Linganore team for a few years, and part of “elite” AU teams during her basketball career.
Going to the college level of basketball at Shepherd, “Was mainly because playing basketball is part of the reason why i wanted to go to school.” Colburn said. “It helps me learn to manage my time better.”

Playing basketball at Linganore has allowed Colburn to play in different positions and not just one exact position.Two of the positions she has played at Linganore are small forward and shooting guard.
