Hi, I’m Cameron.
Nonlinear career journeys can become your superpower—even though that may feel like the furthest thing from the truth as you’re moving through them.
I’ve been a professional mixed martial artist, a recipient of the Daniel Pearl Investigative Journalism Fellowship, and a CSR leader at a company ranked #1 to work for three years.
I’ve authored the poetry book Malaria, Poems, named one of NPR’s best books, and earned an MFA and EMBA as a first-generation college student. I’ve taught in settings from juvenile detention centers to Harvard webinars and MBA programs.
I’m fascinated by business, ethics, and society—and how feedback drives improvement in every field.
I hope these experiences allow me to see the gray between black and white—and live up to NPR’s praise:
“In the spirit of social consciousness, Cameron Conaway does the work of calling our attention.”
Ultimately, I hope all of this means I can bring together seemingly disparate skills to add real value for my students.
