Content and Learning Development

Hi, I’m Candice. I’m a creative, out the box thinker that values authenticity and creativity. I am passionate about creating replicable solutions to challenges creatively that are both inclusive and engaging. I am also driven by missions and initiatives that create equitable access spaces reflective of a myriad of experiences and diverse perspectives.

A native New Yorker, Houston Transplant, Creative, Content Developer and Educator, I’m a tapestry of my experiences and interests. I design and facilitate engaging and impactful learning experiences. In addition, I develop and maintain learning management systems across a variety of EdTech platforms, as well as lead and organize branding design, communication and community engagement efforts. I am also actively involved in recruitment development and initiatives for new hires. I am a proud graduate of Tufts University (04’BA) and Brooklyn College, CUNY(M.Ed. 07’) and the recipient of the HAASBE 27th Annual Outstanding Teacher of the Year Award(13’-14’). In addition, I am the recipient of three EMERGE Core Value awards: Talent Mobilizes Us(22’), Meaningful Relationships Fuel Us(20’) and Attitude of Gratitude(18’) (20’).

To actively broaden my skill set I am currently pursuing certification in UX/UI design and independently I am an emerging Surface Designer and member of the 2022 Immersion Surface Design cohort. In my free time I enjoy creating digital content and surface designs and making memories with my charismatic son and loving husband.
