Cookie queen Collette Divitto, who grew up in Ridgefield, Connecticut, knows firsthand what it feels like to be rejected after a job interview. Her baking company, Collettey’s Cookies, started after the 29-year-old, who has Down syndrome, struggled to find gainful employment. Rather than giving up, Collette took matters into her own hands and turned her passion into her profession.
