A New Jersey native of Caribbean descent, Candace has always been a passion enthusiast that is a person driven by the things that make her tick.

Candace’s love for people really began at St John’s University, where she was an active student leader in a lot of major organizations, including Student Government, Haraya, The Pan-African Student’s Coalition, and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. It was during this time that her love for building others and impacting experience was activated.
