Cameron Clark is an instructor, mentor, and coach with over ten years of experience in higher education. He has taught courses in gender and sexuality studies, feminist and queer media, and social and environmental justice for Vanderbilt, Michigan State, and Fisk University. As a former board member of the Foothills LGBT Center, he also organized a queer studies book club at Southland Books and Café to affirm and empower LGBTQ+ youth in East Tennessee. More recently, Cameron serves as a writing instructor at Fisk University and an academic mentor for the fully online Western Governors University, where he assists adult learners across the country as they balance coursework with family and career obligations.

Cameron is accredited as an ACC-level coach from the International Coaching Federation (ICF). As a lifestyle coach, he enjoys supporting clients in building confidence, overcoming barriers, discovering their strengths, and making steady progress toward their personal and professional goals. He also collaborates with other support professionals as needed, namely in therapy and counseling, to ensure that his clients can maximize their personal potential and reach their goals for growth and development.

Cameron is currently building his coaching practice and is not actively accepting new clients. PCN can route inquiries when he reopens his roster.

Ideal referrals

  • LGBTQ+ professionals seeking goal-oriented, action-driven coaching for growth and development
  • Anyone seeking mentorship for navigating higher education and degree accreditation
  • Learners in WGU's national online programs who want academic mentorship
  • Fisk students and Nashville-area learners exploring gender and sexuality studies
  • Clients in East Tennessee (Knoxville area) or Lansing, Michigan looking for a trusted local-adjacent coach

Better fit elsewhere

  • Anyone seeking therapy rather than coaching. Therapy supports navigating mental and emotional challenges and self-awareness, while coaching is driven toward clarity, confidence, and resilience around specific skills or habits.
