After working in sales for a few years, Candace decided to go back to school, and now follows her passion as a Veterinarian at Carlsbad Animal Hospital!
After receiving a Bachelor’s degree in Communication from San Diego State University, Candace worked in the hotel industry for a few years. She made the decision to go back to school, graduating from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine in the Caribbean. After a clinical year at Louisiana State University, she moved back to San Diego and started at Carlsbad Animal Hospital after completing a rotating internship. As a veterinarian, Candace particularly enjoys emergency medicine and surgery. Both can be stressful, but Candace loves the fast pace and attention to detail!
