Get To Know Me

Candice grew up in Hood River and has yet to find a more perfect place to call home! Being raised in such a recreational mecca sparked her deep appreciation for the outdoors which continues to be a driving force in her life today. A small town girl at heart, Candice loves the supportive and generous community of The Gorge and its friendly and conscientious residents. Upon graduating from the University of Portland with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Candice began her professional career as a registered nurse. She spent the first half of her nursing career as a medical-surgical nurse and went on to explore other facets of healthcare working in Quality Management and as a Change Facilitator in Nursing Administration.
 
Upon the conclusion of her Master’s Degree in Healthcare Management from Oregon Health & Science University, Candice was inspired to re-engage with her local community and pursue her growing passion for the world of real estate. Candice credits her nursing background for her meticulous attention to detail, organizational efficiency, and ability to advocate for and educate clients through the process of buying or selling a home. Combined with her local knowledge of the community and its people, Candice is well-equipped to serve her clients no matter what their real estate needs.
 
“I consider myself lucky to have been raised in The Gorge and am passionate about helping to shape our community so that future generations may continue to flourish here.” When she’s not busy hustling for her clients, Candice enjoys skiing, hiking, running, gardening, and serving up some good food and wine to her friends and family. Her most recent endeavors include becoming a mom to her daughter, Charlie, and joining the board of the Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital Foundation.
