She completed her PhD in criminology in 2011 at Simon Fraser University. She moved to Kamloops in 2012 to work at Thompson Rivers University, thus fulfilling her dream of becoming a professor. Camilla was well loved by students, staff, and colleagues everywhere she worked. Anyone who met her would remember her beautiful smile, her wonderful laugh, and her love of the colour purple. She loved to travel, attend shows, read Jane Austen, and celebrate birthdays. She was a loving wife and mother and the best friend anyone could have.
