Miranda Elizabeth Campos serves as the Director of Development & Community Engagement at Second Chance Tucson, where she leads fundraising, partnership development, and community-facing initiatives that expand opportunities for justice-impacted individuals and strengthen the local reentry ecosystem. In this role, she helps advance SCT’s mission through strategic relationship-building, public education, community events, and resource development.

With a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice, lived experience, and a deep commitment to restorative justice, Miranda brings both professional expertise and personal insight to her work. She is passionate about reducing stigma, building trust across sectors, and creating pathways for healing, reintegration, and long-term community success.

Rooted in faith, service, and the belief that all people deserve real second chances, Miranda leads with empathy, authenticity, and purpose. Her work reflects a strong dedication to uplifting voices, strengthening community collaboration, and helping ensure that justice-impacted individuals and families have access to the support, dignity, and opportunity they deserve.

I am eager to join Second Chance Tucson because of the organization’s profound commitment to empowering returning citizens and dismantling the barriers to successful reintegration. My background in behavioral health and human services, fundraising and business development, and nonpartisan collaboration across multiple industries, has shown me firsthand that sustainable community reentry requires more than just goodwill; it demands supported integrated systems.

My reason for wanting to be part of the SCT Board is because of my firsthand experience with my own family members who have gone through the justice system. I've seen the struggles they continue to face, and the lack of support and consistency to overcome barriers. They are a vulnerable population that have a short window of time for either making it or contributing to the recidivism rates. Without that support, they only go back to what they know- I want SCT to be that glimmer of hope and foundational rock for them. 

I hope to contribute my social capital with the Tucson community, my expertise in navigating complex healthcare systems, and my ability to deliver strategic business development plans. I am excited to help elevate SCT’s voice and build strong partnerships with local stakeholders, and advocate for the critical resources returning citizens need to rebuild their lives. I look forward to building a collaborative peer-led approach within the organization to support our neighbors as they become self-sufficient in a sustainable manner. "It's not about us, without us."

"Throughout my career, I have sought new challenges. Many of the opportunities have involved taking on newly created positions to address emerging issues in law and healthcare that were unfamiliar to me. The desire to learn and to strive for impactful results has been a cornerstone of my career journey. I am passionate about criminal justice reform.  I have seen first hand the adverse impact the criminal justice system has on people of color and people with addiction and mental  illness.  I believe that Tucson is a community with heart and has a true commitment to changing the criminal justice system and the socioeconomic drivers of poverty and the criminalization of large sectors of our community"

I grew up in Tucson, attending grade school and high school here. I attended Northern Arizona University and graduated from the University of Arizona. I worked in banking for 21 years, starting as a teller and eventually becoming a vice-president with Valley National Bank (now Chase). I attended the University of Oklahoma, where I received my Master’s degree. While there, I decided to make a career change and go into higher education. I joined Pima Community College as the Advanced Program Manager for the State and Federal Prison programs. I supervise a team of instructors who teach college-credit vocational courses at the AZ State Prison Complex – Tucson and the AZ State Prison Complex – Douglas. We also teach Business and Management courses at the Federal Corrections Complex – Tucson. I hope that our programs at the three prisons will give inmate-students the knowledge and skills to succeed in finding employment upon release. I hope that my participation in the Second Chance Tucson organization will give formerly incarcerated men and women the opportunity to succeed and never return to prison.
