Kammeraad-Campbell mentors interns, apprentices and writers of all levels and has taught hundreds through workshops and master classes in writing and creative thinking, using innovative methods that bypass the usual approaches to teaching writing. Her work as a journalist at the Medical University of South Carolina sparked her interest in neurology, a pursuit that gave her insight into how the brain works – specifically, how we tap into our most creative thoughts, what triggers memory, and what gives us pause to recalibrate a memory through the portal of reflection.

Kammeraad-Campbell was named one of the 2022 top 50 women leaders of South Carolina by Women We Admire.
