Candice graduated from Weber State University with a BS in History & Social Science Teaching. She counts it a blessing to have been a stay-at-home-mother to her six children. When her youngest started first grade, she went back to college…answering a call to teach others to love and sustain liberty. She has taught History and Geography for eight years. Two years in a girls’ lockdown taught her to love fiercely and manage any crisis. Six years at a public charter helped her master pedagogy and leadership. “I LOVE learning! While raising our children, I learned many practical skills; gardening, home improvement, interior design and furniture up-cycling. I especially enjoyed rescuing a piece from the trash to turn it into something beautiful. Restoring a discarded object’s value reminds me of the way Christ’s grace completes us. Yes, even dumpster diving can be a sacred experience.” She also loves; the natural world, weird dogs, show tunes, MCU, boat snorkeling, ghost towns, and family game night. “I clearly see God’s hand in my journey to American Heritage and I’m THRILLED to join the Patriots!”
