Biography
Campbell grew up in Wilmington, Delaware, the youngest of three daughters. My first story was "Cherokee the Wild Pinto," which I typed on my Tom Thumb typewriter. I was nine. This was followed by such works as the Revolutionary War romance Three's a Crowd and my unfinished World War II epic Claudine. (I cast this as a movie starring Tippi Hedren and also wrote the trailer. Even then, I had control issues.) She wrote her first fan fiction based on the TV show "Garrison's Gorillas."
After this outpouring of creative writing, she turned to acting and pursued it throughout high school and college.
After graduating from Bucknell University, she spent two fairly miserable years in educational administration (first as an admissions counselor and later as Assistant to the Dean of Students at a private school). Then Campbell decided to follow her dream and become an actor.
Campbell was accepted into the Lehman Engel-BMI Musical Theatre Workshop in New York City where she met Gary Schocker, with whom she wrote several songs, a cantata, and two full-length musicals. During this time, Campbell worked as a retail store clerk, an accounts receivable manager, a merchandising director, and a temp, eventually landing in the not-for-profit world where she became a grant writer and publications consultant.
