DAVIA BRYAN-CAMPBELL: Leading with Purpose and Innovating with Impact

When Davia Bryan-Campbell left her stable teaching position in 2012, it wasn’t to abandon the classroom—it was to answer a higher calling. As Founder and CEO of EduHub Company Limited, she has become one of Jamaica’s most impactful education innovators, leading the charge to integrate technology into classrooms across the island and beyond. Her passion is unmistakable. Her drive? Spirit-led. With the heart of an educator and the vision of an entrepreneur, Davia is on a mission to empower teachers, transform schools, and bridge the digital divide—one solution at a time.

From her quiet roots in rural Jamaica to national acclaim as an award-winning changemaker and in-demand educator, Davia’s journey reflects grit, grace, and divine direction. A teacher by calling, an entrepreneur by purpose, and a trailblazer by design, she’s proof that one woman— anchored in vision and led by God—can reshape how education is delivered and experienced.

VBD Magazine caught up with this unstoppable leader to explore the birth of EduHub, the bold decisions that shaped her path, and her belief that the future of education must be both purpose-driven and people-centered.

Growing In Grace

For Davia, teaching wasn’t only a childhood dream—it was something she practiced from her earliest days. “I always wanted to be a teacher. When I attended basic school, I would talk to my books and teach them what I had learned in school.”

Raised in Turner’s District, nestled between Chapelton and May Pen, Davia spent most of her early years under the care of her grandmother while her mother worked abroad. It was there that she first learned resilience and independence. “I used to go shopping for myself. I had to learn how to be independent,” she recalls.

That early self-sufficiency followed her into school life—even when academics didn’t immediately capture her attention. “I was not academically focused,” she admits. “I didn’t see school as important at the time.” But even so, she pressed forward. After completing primary school, she earned a place at Edwin Allen High School and slowly began to find her footing.

Davia’s ambitions extended beyond the classroom. She was fully immersed in church life—singing in the choir, leading children’s ministry, and coordinating church programs. By age sixteen, she was planning events and spearheading youth activities with the same intentionality she now brings to boardrooms. “Those days, I was doing everything that involved leading children,” she says.

Despite a few detours—like having to repeat fifth form to improve her grades—Davia’s goal never wavered. “I knew I wanted to become a teacher,” she affirms. Determined to make it happen, she visited teachers’ colleges, collected applications, and completed the entire admissions process by herself. “My mother will tell you—I did everything on my own.”

That drive led her to Shortwood Teachers’ College, where she specialized in Social Studies and Religious Education. Soon after, she entered the classroom and spent six transformative years teaching at St. George’s College. But even as she poured into her students, a deeper calling stirred within her—one that would soon take her far beyond the walls of traditional education.

The Birth of A Vision

While Davia loved teaching, she felt a pull toward technology. “I love education, and I love technology. I wanted to move out of the classroom, but into a space where I could still integrate technology because I’ve always loved it—even from high school days.”

Her passion for education and technology eventually led her to e-Learning Jamaica Company Limited, where she spent nine years in the role of implementation officer and national trainer. Davia began training teachers across the island, helping them integrate technology into their classrooms. But when the organization scaled back teacher training, Davia saw a gap—and stepped in to fill it.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers still needed training. They knew me as a trainer and wanted my services. That’s how EduHub began,” she explains. What began as solo Zoom sessions quickly evolved into a structured company. At one point, she employed seven trainers. Today, EduHub has shifted focus to software development, specifically educational technology platforms that use AI to empower educators and students.
