Who is behind Colibrite?
Sandrine Miller-Montgomery
Pharm.D. Ph.D.
After a long career spanning from scientist to founder and company CEO, I am now the Founder and Owner of Colibrite LLC, where I advise founders and CEOs on anything life science business related. From the concept of a start-up to all the operation activities needed (legal protection, incorporation, HR, Insurance and financials consideration) to the more scientific and business questions to create a robust business plan and product offering.
But this is just a part of what I do...
- I enjoy creating amazing experiences for visitors to my hometown, Palomar Mountain, CA. I am managing 2 great cabins through Airbnb.
- Wanting to bring the healing benefits of the forest to others, I became a certified Sylvotherapy practitioner. I now offer guided forest therapy sessions on Palomar Mountain, helping people reconnect with nature and restore their wellbeing.
- I am also the founder of DrineDesign, a small boutique craft business based on Palomar Mountain where I handcraft unique handbags, wallets, and accessories — each piece made with care and inspired by the natural beauty around me.
- I support the local community by volunteering for many organizations as the treasurer of the Palomar Mountain Planning Organization, and the website and social media contact for SavePalomarMountain.org (a task force established to ensure that no high-voltage transmission lines go through this precious mountain), the treasurer of Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park, a non-profit organization working under a cooperative agreement with CA State Park to support our local gem of protected nature, a volunteer for CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), and a volunteer for FFLA (Forest Fire Lookout Association).
- I love taking bird and animal pictures (including my 7 cats) now that the kids are too grown-up to agree to pose for me...
- I am the proud owner of a herd of Nubian goats: "Palomar Happiness" registered with the American Dairy Goat Association.
