She began work on the first of several long-term service projects Nov. 3.

Campbell arrived at AmeriCorps NCCC’s Southwest Region Campus in Denver on Oct. 8, to receive training that emphasized teamwork, leadership development, communication, service learning, and certification by the American Red Cross. As a corps member, Campbell will be responsible for completing a series of long service projects as part of a team.

Before joining NCCC, Campbell graduated from Seabreeze High School in 2010 and Florida State University in 2014, where she studied studio art.

“I chose to join NCCC because I am interested in the experience and pursuing Peace Corps and possibly graduate school,” Campbell said.
