Jamison, a 2007 graduate of Monticello High School, is a junior majoring in Biology with a pre-professional emphasis in Chemistry at Arkansas State University.
She is a member of the Honors College Association, Pre-Pharmacy Club, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Sigma Alpha Lambda National Leadership and Honors Organization, Delta Epsilon Iota Academic Honor Society, National Society of Leadership and Success, and Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society.

The Linual Cameron Memorial Scholarship is provided through an endowment established by the Strong-Turner Alumni Chapter in memory of Linual Cameron, who was vice president of finance at Arkansas State University for 24 years. The chapter set up the endowment to recognize Cameron as a strong supporter of African-American students at ASU, particularly those who demonstrated strong academic achievement and leadership potential.
