She has shared the stage with Adele, Seal, Michael Bolton, Davy Jones, Smokey Robinson, and several other big-name artists. Currently, Cameron is a member of The Charleston Jazz Orchestra and has loved her time with that organization. She occasionally subs with The Charleston Symphony Orchestra and loves to get back to her classical roots. Cameron maintains a very successful private trumpet studio in the Charleston area. Her students consistently place in the All State band, orchestra, and jazz bands, as well as The Honor Band of America concert and jazz bands.
