About Me
Cameron developed her love for all things creative at a young age. A dancer, musician, and avid reader, she could often be found quietly reading in the corner of the family’s motorhome. Raised by two school administrators in Orange County, California, avid reading was a family trait. Cameron attended her undergrad on a music scholarship for Jazz at Chapman University and continued to earn subsequent degrees in Cross Cultural Education, Curriculum and Instruction and earned specialties in Gifted and Reading Instruction. A university professor of 15 years and doctor of Superintendency with an Education Specialist degree from Ball State University, Cameron’s dissertation research focused on high achieving low socioeconomic schools. Over the past 15 years Cameron has lived and worked in Italy, Germany, Korea, and Cuba and is currently serving military students and families as a Gifted and ESOL Specialist on an island in Caribbean with her son Trent.
