Colby began her professional life working in
elder care in
Portland, Oregon, where she was employed by the
Oregon State Government's Department of Human Services. In this role, she assisted
elderly people and individuals with
disabilities, helping them access
food stamps,
medical insurance, and other essential services. While the work allowed her to develop strong
communication and
customer service skills, she grew disillusioned with the position, citing low pay and an unmotivated work environment among her colleagues. In October 2019, the
commissioner ruled in her favor, awarding her $3,500 in
unpaid earnings with
interest, along with $11,450 in
attorney's fees. The case, along with similar complaints, was later featured in a 2019
NBC investigative special. Following her debut, Colby began performing for a wide range of studios, including
Girlfriends Films,
Brazzers,
Bangbros,
Blacked,
Zero Tolerance,
Third Degree,
Deeper,
Vixen, Kelly Madison Networks,
Naughty America,
Devil's Film, MissaX, DareDorm, and
Kink.com, among others. One of her early career highlights was a shoot for
Vixen with Xander Corvus, which she cited as a particularly positive and memorable experience due to the company's polished production style. Outside of
adult entertainment, Colby has also been involved in
animal rescue and
welfare initiatives, a recurring theme throughout her career. As of 2023, Colby has appeared in more than 390 credited films, in addition to her continued
webcam and independent
online work. ==Animal welfare==
