She subsequently earned a BA degree in English & Spanish at the University of the West Indies, Mona, followed by diplomas in Mass Communications and Management Studies.

She worked as a teacher, as a public relations worker, editor, features writer and video producer for the Jamaican Information Service, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Creative Production and Training Centre.

[5] Reviewing her 1991 story collection Singerman, Keith Jardim wrote: "The excellence of Hazel D. Campbell’s short stories lies not only in the bright, robust prose of her third and latest collection, Singerman, but also in her portrayals of the preoccupations of the Caribbean people, race, class, and poverty - how they have cursed the region.

[1] A collection of her short stories, Jamaica On My Mind, was posthumously published in 2019, and Suzanne Scafe noted in Small Axe: "Reading Campbell's earliest stories three and four decades later, one is astonished at the prescient ways sexuality, gender relations, and the nuanced forms of the women characters’ resistance are represented.
