Arianna Campbell

Arianna Campbell is an educator born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. Her path into teaching began while volunteering with NWRESD as a counselor for Outdoor School, where she worked with sixth graders exploring the natural world. She went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in Child, Youth, and Family Studies from Portland State University and discovered a passion for working with young children through her experience at the Helen Gordon Child Development Center.

Since then, Arianna has focused her work in early childhood education, most recently leading a mixed-age preschool classroom at Siemens Child Development Center. She is deeply engaged in inquiry-based learning and enjoys exploring children’s ideas, supporting their research processes, and listening to the stories that emerge through play.

One of Arianna’s favorite classroom experiences is introducing children to hand sewing. This work supports fine motor development while offering a new way to connect materials and express ideas. Sewing becomes a meaningful and transferable skill that children can carry into future projects.

Outside of the classroom, Arianna enjoys drawing and doodling, playing board games, and spending time with her cats.
