About the Founder/Instructor:
Antoinette T. Campbell is a Philadelphia native with over 21 years of experience as a Forensic Scientist, specializing in Forensic Drug Chemistry and Forensic Quality Assurance. She knows firsthand what it takes to build meaningful youth forensic programs and to use science as a tool for community engagement.
In 2010, she founded the Association of Women in Forensic Science, Inc. (AWIFS), and later created programs and projects like Club Philly Forensics, Beyond Crime Scenes and Autopsies, and Street Forensics, blending education with creative outreach.
Her work has always been shaped by her community. Growing up and working in Philadelphia, she saw both the curiosity young people had about forensic science and the lack of real opportunities to learn about it. She also noticed how often people confused her career with what they saw on TV crime shows. To bridge the gap, she began hosting workshops and webinars to give students and adults a real understanding of the field and how to pursue it.
Living in a city deeply affected by gun violence, she also integrates violence and drug awareness into Club Philly Forensics programs, making them relevant, practical, and impactful.
Antoinette has designed and taught forensic science curriculums for schools and organizations across Philadelphia and New Jersey, and she continues to inspire and guide the next generation of forensic scientists.
