Cameron approaches his work with a goal of helping others to grow and develop their skillset. Cameron believes that one of the joys of working in and around education is to be constantly surrounded by the energy and optimism of people who are committed to working to support the next generation of learners. Cameron prides himself on intentional partnerships with people who share this belief, and especially enjoys working with people who believe that the work we do is serious, but who do not take themselves too seriously.
