Cambrón received a B.A. in Studio Art from Agnes Scott College (2014) fully funded by the Goizueta Foundation. In 2015, she became an educator and one of the first Teach for America DACAmented Corps Members placed in Georgia. Two years later, she returned to Cross Keys High School, her alma mater, to teach art. In 2019, Cambrón left the classroom to pursue art full-time. She is completing an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago as a recipient of the 2023 Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans and is expanding her practice into fibers, sculpture, and discarded materials from her family’s commercial furniture-making practice in Atlanta.
