Ashley Campbell
Ashley earned her B.A in Religious Studies from Macalester College. Her interest in interfaith relations developed during her time serving on Macalester's Multifaith Council and researching her senior capstone on interreligious marriages. Ashley is currently waiting to hear back from graduate schools, where she hopes to continue her study of religion. Eventually, she hopes to work full time in the interfaith community as a religious journalist and professor, or a mediator, striving to establish respectful and harmonious relations between religious traditions through dialogue and education.
