During her attendance at the University of the Incarnate Word, she began her TV career interning at the San Antonio FOX affiliate KABB and NBC affiliate WOAI. Soon after she graduated she was offered a job as a Production Assistant at KABB and was then promoted to Associate Producer. That position gave her the opportunity to work on special projects which led her to earn her first Emmy Nomination as a Producer. Candice then went over to the CBS affiliate KENS 5 where she was offered a job as a Producer. From there she moved to Austin to work at NBC affiliate KXAN. There she produced weekends, and filled in on the 5pm, 6pm newscasts. Candice had the opportunity to field produce in Wimberely after the Memorial Day floods struck in 2013 including doing a live phoner as her and her photographer were stuck on a highway because of flooding. During her time at KXAN, Candice also went undercover for investigative stories and did English to Spanish voiceovers for reporters. She was then moved to produce the noon newscast which soon became an hour long show. Her unique producing techniques led the noon to become #1 in household views in the Austin market.

Candice also has had the opportunity to work with many celebrities including Thomas Ian Nicholas and Brian O’Halloran. Her high level and creative producing expertise will make any project she gets stand out.
