After CFS, I attended Duquesne University where I was accepted into their Doctorate of Physical Therapy program. While there, I also ran Division I track and field. Upon graduation in 2020, at the height of COVID, I received my undergrad in both biology and health science. At that time, I was in the beginning of the professional phase of my physical therapy program. But I knew I wanted to do something else. I had decided I wanted to become a nurse as I felt I had more of a calling to that field. 

After leaving Duquesne I was accepted into the University of Pittsburgh’s accelerated BSN program. Within a year, I had received my BS in nursing. At the time I was a Patient Care Technician (PCT) at UPMC Shadyside Hospital on the Medical Oncology floor. After two years as a PCT, I accepted a position as a Registered Nurse on the same floor. I spent two years full-time there before I took a position as a Registered Nurse in the Oncology Resource Department as a floating nurse. I have loved my time as a nurse. It has been both rewarding yet challenging. 

Hello! My name is Robbie Campbell and I’m a spring 2025 graduate of West Chester University. I majored in marketing and have a minor in digital marketing. I work at McGinty Motorcars, a family-owned classic car dealership in Reading, Pennsylvania, and help out with their marketing and car deliveries/pickups. My passion since I was young has been Motorsport, and I’ve decided to carry it into my life. I have been racing professional go karts at the national level, which takes a lot of time and dedication - especially when balancing work, school, and even life in there as well. Fortunately, my time management and workload felt smooth and controllable for all 4 years - thanks to my experiences and lessons I’ve received from Church Farm School.  

My name is Brandon Le, and I graduated from CFS in 2023. I’m currently attending Villanova University, where I’m co-majoring in Finance and MIS, and I’ve recently accepted an internship at SAP for this upcoming summer. I truly enjoyed my time at CFS, serving in student government, leading as the varsity lacrosse captain, and representing the school as a student ambassador. CFS played a pivotal role in shaping who I am today and prepared me for the next chapter in ways I couldn’t have imagined. The brotherhood at CFS is what makes it unique, and separates it from other schools. I’m excited for the opportunity to give back to the community that gave me so much.
