Hailing from Banff, Alberta, Candice has spent the majority of her life on the mountain either competing in skiing and snowboarding, coaching or shredding powder just for the joy of it. Candice was a professional athlete for over a decade, she was a member of the Canadian Snowboard team for nine years, in which time she was a national champion, competed in eight ESPN X-Games (one bronze medal), and she had over 70 World Cup starts (4 podiums). Candice spent another decade coaching at the club level, provincial level, and she led the Canadian Paralympic Snowboard Team at the 2014 Paralympic Games in Sochi, Russia. Candice was also the head coach in snowboard for Team BC at the 2011 Canada Games.

Candice holds a Bachelors Degree in Communications from Simon Fraser University and a Masters of Education in Coaching Studies from the University of Victoria. She is also a graduate of the National Coaching Institute BC (ACD).

Candice was based in Whistler for her first four years working for the Institute; she moved to the Victoria campus in 2021. She thrives in her current role as Game Plan Advisor. Island life is treating her well, trading in her snowboard for a surfboard to continue her quest slide sideways.
