CANDACE WILLIAMS
I am a hardworking, observant, and strategic individual who loves to think, create, and do. I graduated from the University of Houston with a dual degree in Biology and Health & Human Performance where I performed research to help further the UNDO* study. This was followed by an Advanced Health Sciences certificate from DUCOM. After the birth of my first daughter, I received my BSN from Thomas Jefferson University’s School of Nursing followed by a master of science in nursing. While working at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as an RN I began to understand the importance of healthy families and children. This understanding is why I decided to choose Sayre. I believe that by helping families become mindful participants in the preservation and restoration of their physical and mental health and wellness we can change the trajectory of our community.
