Candace worked as a college professor teaching Anatomy & Physiology for many years before officially becoming a Board Certified Patient Advocate in September 2018. Many friends and family members influenced her decision to become an Advocate, including a friend with a cancer diagnosis, a family member who nearly died from prescription interactions, and another family member denied by insurance for expensive mental health treatment- all of whom she was able to help get the care they deserved. Candace is the CEO of AdvocateATX.
