A Millennial Woman Making Broad Strides in the News Room

Candace grew up with a tight knit family in Saginaw, Michigan. She credits much of her success to the guidance and protection she received as a teenager. Many who know her would say she was born to be a journalist. She’s kept a journal since she was a child and she’s been writing stories as long as she can remember. Candace is a woman of many talents, but uses humility and strong faith to shine and ascend her way through the broadcast journalism business. 

Candace anchors the 6 & 11 o’clock news at WTVR CBS 6 in Richmond, VA, and the DCW50 news at 10PM in Washington, D.C. She’s a graduate of Wichita State University, where she earned a degree in broadcast journalism. Far from one dimensional, Candace was also a scholarship athlete on the Shocker women’s basketball team. During her brief yet progressive career, Candace has won several broadcast journalist awards including an Associate Press award for hard news, and an Emmy nomination. Candace is an active volunteer in the Richmond community, and she is very involved in her church. A strong believer that, with God, all things are possible. Candace is a true professional and shares the highlights and keys to success that we all can apply and relate to. A millennial woman making industry strides in this week’s #ShineHard Conversation.
