As a business development strategist, Campbell is focusing on grant writing; identifying opportunities for our landscape architecture, urban planning, and brownfield redevelopment experts; and finding new markets for those experts to serve.

Campbell loves working within teams, and she’s effective in multi-level communications with clients, regulatory officials, and technical staff. Her experience as a geologist and environmental scientist helps her to understand both the big picture and the details that typify complex redevelopment efforts and much of what enters into planning and landscape architecture projects.

In the critical realm of funding, Campbell has obtained and managed millions of grant dollars over the space of just three years to fuel a range of development-focused projects.

On the technical side, Campbell has experience in geologic and geophysical surveying, on-site petroleum geology sampling, smear slide sample preparation, hydrogeologic sampling and analysis, and environmental site assessments (ESAs).

“I am thrilled that we have Keely on board and that she’s already making things happen,” says Scott Wilson, PSS, Vice President. “Our environmental, planning, and landscape architecture experts offer so much potential for communities and developers who have a vision, and Keely is just the person to put all the pieces together for them to succeed.”

Campbell holds a bachelor’s degree in geological sciences from Florida State University and is a registered professional geologist in Wisconsin.
