College And Beyond: Real Talk with Amour Carthy

Rooted in the South, Rising in Sports: Cameron’s Path from Scholarships to a Ph.D


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Cameron from the Atlanta Metro—fresh off earning her second Master’s degree and preparing to begin a Ph.D. program at the University of Alabama this fall. Cameron shares the full arc of her academic and personal journey, from early aspirations of attending Penn State to finding her place—and her purpose—on Alabama’s campus.

Encouraged by her parents and a childhood best friend, Cameron initially overlooked Alabama—but after visiting, she fell in love with the community and culture. She ultimately secured $40,000 in scholarships and became a standout student leader through roles as a parent ambassador, orientation leader, and proud member of AKA.

Cameron’s academic journey is marked by courageous pivots—from nursing to public health to sports management, and now sports psychology. Her experiences in football recruiting, behavioral health, and public health internships (including one with the CDC) reflect a deep commitment to people, purpose, and possibility.

With sights set on a career in professional sports, perhaps even with the Atlanta Falcons, Cameron’s story is one of intentional growth, community impact, and resilience. This episode is a must-listen for students navigating change, professionals seeking reinvention, and anyone chasing purpose on their own terms.
