Once a Viking, Always a Viking

Tiana ’12 & Denissa ’10 Roddy
A Tale of Two Sisters

Tiana Roddy ’12 joined the Campbell Hall family as a curious and excited seventh-grader with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian. During her high school honors and AP Chemistry classes with Mr. Griffin, her interest in the medical field grew as she mastered college-level science work. After a short and cold stint at Boston College, Tiana transferred to the University of Maryland where she flourished, joined Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, and realized that while she loved animals, human medicine was her true calling.

Post-graduation and with a new career path to pursue, Tiana spent a year as a Medical Scribe before attending Tulane University for medical school. The city of New Orleans, filled with loving, kind people, and a strong sense of community, inspired her to use her medical degree to help her community not only heal physically but mentally. This revelation was the catalyst for Tiana to pursue psychiatry. She will attend her residency program back home in Los Angeles at UCLA Olive-View in the fall. She is excited to return home and be closer to where her origin story began. She is grateful for her community and the fantastic teachers like Mr. Griffin who opened her eyes to the wonderful world of science.

Denissa Roddy ’10 started Campbell Hall in the eighth grade. While she initially struggled with the transition, she soon began to realize all the benefits of attending Campbell Hall. The facilities, programs, and small class sizes allowed Denissa to nurture many of her talents and interests, from the visual arts to theatre to music.

After receiving a degree in psychology from USC and pursuing a career in education, Denissa decided to pivot professions. She attended Tulane University where she attained a Masters in Business Administration and is currently in the process of earning an accelerated Masters Certificate in Organizational Behavior, Leadership, and Management at the University of Maryland, Global Campus.

Knowing the vast opportunities Campbell Hall affords its students, Denissa felt inspired to pay it forward and help children with fewer resources have comparable access by pursuing a career that blends business and education. In her current field, she provides educational programs and non-profit organizations with consulting, training, strategy building, management skills, and culture-building services.

Denissa is grateful for her time at Campbell Hall, which inspired her to bring opportunities and education to a variety of populations in need.
