Cameron has been the recipient of three scholarships: the Non Traditional Student Scholarship and was twice awarded the Jacobsen Scholarship Fund. More recently, he was offered and awarded two separate University Grants from ASU for maintaining a 4.0+ GPA.
Before wanting to be a therapist, Cameron had hoped to become an Architect/ Interior Designer. In 2006, he established Gentry Aesthetics LLC.
Though he is very passionate about design and a talented decorator, Cameron explains that the field of counseling is the path that he is supposed to be on. He admits that he will probably always dabble with architecture and will find other ways to use these skills.
Cameron has been employed at Mesa Public Schools since 2006, where he works with special needs children of all ages. Prior to working for the school district, Cameron also worked for a premier home restoration company in 2004-2006, where he learned many valuable skills in construction and finish carpentry. Cameron has also worked jobs as an assistant pressman at Lehi Letterpress and as a blue-printer at Commercial Reprographics. Cameron explains; “There have been many events in my life which I believe have been preparing me to help others, and I feel these things will aid me in becoming and being a more compassionate and understanding therapist. In some ways, I can usually say ‘I’ve been there, I know what you mean.’ Even as a kid and then as a teenager, my friends always seemed to want to discuss their problems with me. Although I didn’t always know what to say or how to help, I can’t overlook the manner in which my experiences have been assisting me in my training for the role I plan to play in the future. I enjoy listening to people and helping them work through their challenges. It is my hope that through the lessons I have learned from my own trials and/or by the ones experienced by those close to me, I will be better able to relate to those who may need me later in my career.”
