Colleen Lopez hails from St. Paul, Minn., where as a child she spent 10 years dancing in recitals with her three sisters, performing as “The McCarthy Sisters.” She believes “home is where you hang your heart,” and has developed a great fondness for Florida, where she has lived with her husband and two sons for more than 13 years. A television show host for two decades, Colleen got her start hosting a live broadcast from the nation’s largest shopping facility, Mall of America in the Twin Cities.

Passionate about gemstones, Colleen has dabbled in jewelry design for several years and would make it a full-time profession if she wasn’t at HSN. Colleen’s other passions include art and travel. She gets a thrill exploring new cities and browsing local museums and art galleries. She loves to salsa dance, her favorite being the meringue, and wants to learn the tango.
