In addition to her oversight of Seton Hall's compliance and student-athlete development, she is the sport administrator for women's basketball, women's soccer, women's tennis and men's & women's cross country.

At Wagner, Colitz was a member of the Seahawks senior staff, providing administrative oversight and management over personnel, budget, scheduling and event management. She directly supervised Wagner's Student Services team, consisting of academics, compliance and student-athlete development and also served as sport administrator for women's basketball, softball, men's & women's cross country/track & field, men's & women's golf and women's triathlon.

In addition, Colitz served as the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) administrative advisor that included the promotion of community services initiatives, was Wagner's departmental liaison with most the College's cross-campus offices, including the Dean of Students, Campus Life and Title IX offices, and collaborated in the development and implementation of Wagner's strategic diversity plan.

Colitz got her start in collegiate administration in July 2013, when she was hired as an academics and compliance assistant at Wagner, where she supported a focus group of 60 at-risk student-athletes with class scheduling, academic tutoring, study skills, social-emotional mentoring, career development and graduation plans. After two years, she earned a promotion to Assistant Athletics Director for Student Services, overseeing all of Wagner's academics and life skills.
