Candice Cottin

Born and raised in the Caribbean, Candice then pursued an MBA and a career in strategic marketing in Paris. In 2019, she and her family relocated to California. Narratives have also played a vital role for Candice—whether immersed in reading, performing on stage, or crafting short stories. As she initiated her own French creative writing studio, she discovered 826 Valencia and was deeply impressed by its mission and the positive impact it creates. She takes joy in volunteering at Captain Blue’s field trips and feels privileged to contribute to the Associate Board.
