Cameron shares her home with several rescued animals: her dog, Pomela Anderson, who came to her from Animal Friends Rescue Project as a medical foster and never left, and a bunny from the SPCA who happily roams the living room.

Cameron started at POMDR as our Clinic Manager on May 11, 2020. In March 2021, she stepped into the role of Operations Manager, overseeing the daily complexities of rescue intake, medical coordination, and program logistics. In May 2024 she became our Behavior and Enrichment Manager, helping to build and strengthen POMDR's dog behavior program to support dogs with more complex needs. After a four-month hiatus, Cameron joined the POMDR Board of Directors. In 2026, she stepped off the board to serve as POMDR's Interim Development Director, bringing her deep institutional knowledge, long-standing commitment to the organization, and strong relationship-building skills into this critical leadership role. Her experience across operations, behavior, and board service gives her a comprehensive understanding of POMDR's mission, programs, and impact - an invaluable asset in working with donors, sponsors, and community partners.

Professionally, Cameron trained dolphins and sea lions for the U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program in Washington state. She then worked as an Animal Care Specialist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, rescuing and rehabilitating sea otters. Throughout her career, she has developed strengths in leadership, cross-functional collaboration, public engagement, training, and high-stakes decision-making - skills that translate naturally into strategic development work and donor stewardship. Her past volunteer work includes the Seattle Aquarium, the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the Alaska SeaLife Center, and a Humane Society wildlife rehabilitation center, working with animals from harbor seals and sea otter pups to raccoons, raptors, and even a baby long-tailed weasel. Locally, she volunteered with AFRP at the adoption center and as a foster for medical cases.

Cameron graduated from Western Washington University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. While working for the Navy, she learned to conduct closed-circuit SCUBA diving.
