Bio
Vitus Wong
Candice played an important role on many of my design projects at Brella, meticulously reviewing the copy before I released drafts to our clients. She is an articulate writer and effective editor. I always knew I could trust her advice and watchful eyes to make the words sing. Combined with her positive and calm demeanor, working with her is a pleasant, easy experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Candice for any content development team.
Brendan Baber
Candice combines intelligence, raw talent, diligence, and initiative. As my direct report for 3 years or so, I knew that if I handed Candice a project, it would get done. Maybe not the exact way I imagined it, but it would be done with thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and efficiency. Candice is a top-drawer writing talent, and I hope she continues to focus on this aspect of her skillset. Great writers are a rare and precious commodity. When Candice is on fire, her prose jumps off the page. And even when she misses the mark, I can see the thought and craft that went into her writing. She never writes a lazy sentence. (Anyone who has worked with professional writers will know how significant that is.) On top of her skills, Candice is a good person with high ethical standards. She creates a strong work ethic around her by having a good work ethic. She fosters positive attitudes by having a positive attitude. She keeps others focused on the mission by being focused on the mission. She is a true servant leader. Cannot recommend her too highly.
