Regina Campbell was born and raised in California’s Bay Area but has spent her adult life living and traveling around the United States and abroad, addressing the effects of structural racism in the environment and within communities of color in a variety of capacities. Trained as an Environmental Engineer at the University of Maryland, she worked to build connections and implement strategies to protect the environment and enforce environmental policy. It was in this capacity that her passion for environmental justice was fueled. After years of service in this capacity, Regina dedicated four years to service in Belize, developing educational systems for youth and creating economic opportunities for women throughout the country.
Since her return to the United States in 2014, Regina has consistently worked to break the cycle of illiteracy, poverty, and low expectations by helping families in low-income communities of New York rise above poverty through education and career programs. Her current role as project manager for the Rikers Public Memory Project, highlights her private industry, nonprofit, and government experience in planning, implementing, and monitoring programs while building collaborative relationships with diverse stakeholders. Regina has a passion for social justice and works toward sustainable solutions to critical social problems.
Regina has been married to her high school sweetheart and best friend, Stephen Campbell, for 26 years and counting. They have two children and currently live in Connecticut.
