Lorne Campbell

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”

– Teddy Roosevelt

Lorne graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo, in 2010 with a degree in psychology, and entered the workforce, after working for a few years and starting his own business he decided to return to school to pursue a career in medicine. He is currently pursuing a masters of Biomedical Sciences from the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine. While attending SUNY Broome, Lorne wanted to put his education to good use and became a tutor. Growing to love helping others learn he eventually became a professional tutor. His experience as tutor was instrumental in shaping who he hopes to be as a healthcare professional, and as a person. He believes that small acts to help someone can be the catalyst to see greater change in the world. As someone who was discouraged by people in authority positions when he was younger he feels it is vital to ensure each person has the opportunity to find their own barriers, and reach as high as possible.

In addition to being a student and a tutor, Lorne also runs his own business, has a small family farm and is a volunteer firefighter in his community. Lorne is the current President of his Masters program and is conducting research into healthcare disparities in working individuals.
