I've taken part in the Oswego Pride Festival as a performer in the stage show since it's first year, in addition to being the Chairman of Children's Activities the last handful of years. I am overjoyed to be able to step up and take on a more substantial role on the committee as we transition from "Oswego Pride" to "Oswego County Pride." Although originally from New Jersey, my family moved here when I was in middle school and I've lived here now for the better part of 20 years. I moved back to New Jersey in my mid 20s but ultimately decided that it wasn't where I belonged, Oswego is my home. I love the community here and I'm excited to be able to play a part in an organization whose main goal is to better it. By day, I work at a restaurant in downtown Oswego but at least once a month, you can catch me as my alter ego, Xandra Dee. I host & co-host Drag Benefit shows for various local charities. I'm a cat dad to two wonderful fur babies, Münster and Marshmallow... my tubby orange guy and my all white princess. When I'm not working, lounging with my cats or doing something Drag related... You can find me sleeping! I love a warm, cozy bed with fluffy pillows and I'm always ready for a nap.

Colleen Rose, or Rosie as she's better known, moved to Oswego County in 2023. She's naturally curious, very empathetic, and loves to learn. She grew up in a smaller setting in Dutchess County, NY. While she seems a bit shy and quiet, she tries to be friendly to everyone she meets. She believes everyone benefits when kindness is shown, and if she can at least offer a break from a difficult situation during conversation, then that's better than adding more stress to someone's day. When asked how she feels about being part of the OC Pride Committee, she would say: she is happy to help and offer support however she can for such an important cause. She is also the proud pet-parent of two cats, Gwen and Zeb.
