Candice, or Candicakes as she's known in some circles, can best be described as a combination between Kristen Wiig, Demi Lovato, and Zooey Deschanel's character Jessica Day on "New Girl." She was born and raised in Chantilly, VA, one of the suburbs surrounding the Washington, DC, area. She found her way to the theatre through the world of competitive show choir. In 2014, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from James Madison University with a B.A. in Musical Theatre. During her time at JMU, she was afforded a number of once in a lifetime opportunities, including: competing in KCACTF as an Irene Ryan nominee; performing, competing, and recording with, as well as choreographing for, her all female a cappella group The BluesTones; singing alongside Tony Award winner Patti LuPone in her show "Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda...Played That Part"; and attending some truly stellar costume parties. 

Everyone needs interests outside the theatre though, and Candice’s include baking and world traveling. She’s constantly cooking up sweet treats and is well on her way to surpassing the “30 Countries Before Age 30” benchmark. She’s on a quest to eat the world’s most delicious food, and she stops to pet every cat she meets along the way.
