Personal History:

The only child of Tess and Jonathan Whelan, Cameron
was born and raised in the Parkchester area of the
Bronx, New York. Her father, a police officer, was
killed in the line of duty when she was just 14 months
old, so the only parent she has ever really known is
her mother.

As Cameron grew up she was constantly torn between her
own dream to follow her father’s footsteps and become
a cop, and her mother’s desire for her to become a
doctor. Being young and not yet having the confidence
to stand up for herself, she eventually yielded to her
mother’s wishes. She did well in school, but not well
enough to win the kinds of scholarships she’d need to
pay her way through undergrad school, so she enlisted
for a four-year stint with the US Army to take
advantage of the training and the GI Bill.

While in the military, Cameron’s interests in law
enforcement grew even stronger, much to her mother’s
dismay. Upon her return to civilian life, she spent
nearly a year earning her Paramedic’s license, seeing
it as an extension of the EMT-equivalent training
she’d received in the Army. After spending only a few
months as a paramedic, she realized that she couldn’t
deny her own desires anymore.

Twenty weeks of intense training saw her complete her
courses at the NYC Police Academy, after which she
spent three years as a patrol officer before she
continued to move on to bigger and better things.

Blending her training as a medic and a cop, Cameron
became one of the first women accepted into the New
York City SWAT unit as a Tactical Emergency Medic.
She very much enjoyed and excelled at her work,
despite the intense pace and stress of the job. Her
efforts eventually got the attention of recruiters for
the SG Program and, always on the lookout for another
challenge, she couldn’t resist their offer when they
came calling.
