Bio

I am a transfer student from Moorpark community college majoring in microbiology. I enjoy learning all types of science and love the pursuit of knowledge. My brain is almost always loaded with random facts about a wide range of topics, mostly picked up from YouTube videos. I also have a love for the outdoors and you’ll often see me outside hiking or shredding on my mountain bike. After graduation I plan to work towards a PHD and eventually become a PI.

As of Fall 2026, Cameron has been admitted to the METX 4+1 program.
