Jordan Campbell's career traverses the fields of theatre, education, and arts policy. He is a currently a candidate for the M.Ed Arts in Education Program at Harvard University.

Jordan worked in the White House under President Barack Obama, focusing his time on cultural policy and arts education initiatives. His past work spans across arts advocacy and education policy, where he has also lobbied Congress on behalf of cultural and arts education. In 2017, he conducted original research at Americans for the Arts regarding emerging leaders, which galvanized the organization’s efforts around broadening and diversifying the leadership pipeline. 

What drives Jordan's passion for the arts and education is his own work as an actor. Most recently, he embarked on the first Broadway National Tour of the musical Amazing Grace, and received a prestigious Helen Hayes Award nomination for his portrayal of Mrs. Bumbrake in Constellation Theatre's Peter and the Starcatcher. As an advocate for creative learning as a catalyst for cultural dialogue and social change, Jordan serves as a consultant for several school districts and organizations in the United States, Ghana, and India.
