Cameron Lineberger

“The last 12 months provided more time for me to get hands-on and create! I built a DIY home gym (with concrete, sand, and lumber), learned how to refinish and stain several pieces of furniture, and experimented with tons of new recipes (food, baking, and cocktails). Ultimately, I rediscovered how important it is to keep learning in all areas of life, not just academically and professionally.”

Cameron comes to Digital Promise from Columbia Law School’s Center for Public Research and Leadership, where he worked on high-impact consulting projects for a variety of education sector clients, including school districts, nonprofits, foundations, and collective impact partnerships. During that time, he applied continuous improvement strategies to transform client operations and outcomes while also cultivating clients’ internal capacity to sustain that work into the future. Prior to that, Cameron spent eight years as an educator in Washington, D.C., public schools teaching 1st and 2nd grade, managing PK3-8th grade DCPS afterschool programs, and working for several nonprofits. He began his education career coordinating on-site early literacy intervention programming for Reading Partners as an AmeriCorps member, while also supporting Higher Achievement’s 5th-8th grade afterschool and summer programs. Cameron is passionate about developing and leveraging authentic relationships to drive responsive and effective change at the school, community, and national levels. Cameron earned a B.A. in political science from Furman University and recently completed his Master of Public Administration at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Policy.
