Cameron Bopp
Before that, Cameron spent several years as an evening news anchor and reporter in Charleston, South Carolina, where he contributed to coverage of the nationally watched Alex Murdaugh murder trial and covered the mass shooting on Isle of Palms beach, work that earned a South Carolina Broadcasters Association award for breaking news.
Cameron is a graduate of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, where he studied mass communications and music, and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, where he earned his master's degree in broadcast journalism.
He is grateful to have reported in big cities and rural communities in the Midwest, on the East Coast, and now out West. Cameron says his favorite part of the job is meeting people, sharing laughs, sharing tears, and connecting on a deeper level. News has shown him that people have more in common than they may realize.
This chapter also carries special meaning. Cameron has family in the Monterey area and grew up visiting California, often wishing life could bring him here one day. Now, having the opportunity to live and work in the Bay Area feels like a dream come true.
