About Candace

I see opportunities where others see constraints — and I know how to execute on them.

After more than two decades in the industry, including over a decade in development, I’ve learned that the most valuable projects aren’t found in obvious places. They’re built by people who can read complexity, reshape constraints, and move forward with clarity when others hesitate.

That’s how I’m wired. I’m both creative and deeply strategic — able to see the big picture and work through the details that make it real. I’ve structured projects from the ground up: assembling the right capital stack, aligning partners around a shared vision, and navigating the friction that’s inevitable in any deal worth doing. The result isn’t just a project that gets built — it’s one that performs.

I operate calmly in complexity. When deals stall or uncertainty rises, I create clarity. That steadiness builds trust with partners, aligns teams around what matters, and keeps momentum moving even in difficult environments. For equity partners and co- development partners, that’s not a soft skill — it’s a structural advantage.

As a woman-owned firm, I bring a distinct lens to how opportunities are evaluated and structured. It shapes how I assess risk, how I build relationships, and how I access capital — always grounded in long-term value and execution.

I advocate for what’s needed — thoughtfully, strategically, and without apology. I don’t force outcomes, but I don’t walk away from them either.

Development is rarely linear. It requires persistence, adaptability, and a willingness to solve problems that don’t have obvious answers. That’s where I do my best work.

And I follow through — every time.
