Kamaree was born and raised in the Kennesaw/Acworth area of Georgia along with his three siblings. He attended Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia for college and majored in Biology. After graduating in 2016, he spent time at The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, where he completed a summer program designed to help students from underrepresented backgrounds in medicine to develop skills that will help them become more competitive for medical school. Finishing the summer program reinvigorated and refocused on a career in medicine, Kamaree completed a one-year master’s degree in Preclinical Sciences at Mercer University School of Medicine in Macon, Georgia. After graduating in 2017, he took a year off from school to study for the MCAT, apply to medical school, spend time with family and friends, travel, work, and relax. He started medical school at Mercer University School of Medicine in 2018, where he was actively involved in various groups, committees, volunteer work, and mentorship programs. After completing his first year of medical school, Kamaree returned to The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine to work at the same summer program where he was once a student— this time serving as a teaching assistant, leader, and mentor to the students. Outside of the hospital, Kamaree enjoys spending time with family, friends, and loved ones, working out, traveling, listening to music, mentoring pre-med and medical students, and watching football and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reruns. He is extremely excited to be joining the Vanderbilt family and is looking forward to experiencing life in beautiful Nashville!
