Q: Tell us about yourself.
A: What's going on everybody? My name is Cameron Johnson. I'm a senior at Hoover High School.
Q: Why did you apply to be part of the Creator Collective?
A: I applied to this program because, about two years ago, I decided that I wanted to be a sports journalist when I'm older, and, ever since then, I've been teaching myself and I figured it'd be great to be in a space where I can learn from other people instead of teaching myself.
Q: What activities are you involved with?
A: At Hoover, I'm a student manager/coach's assistant for the track and field team and I'm part of the yearbook staff.
Q: What do you hope to do after high school?
A: As I'm a senior this year, I'll be going to the University of Southern Mississippi next year to study communication studies, and, after that, I'm gonna be a professional sports journalist.
Q: What is your dream job?
A: My dream job would be working for ESPN.
Q: What is a fun fact about you?
A: A fun fact about me is that I can solve a Rubik's cube.
