Candace Rodriguez

I am a mother of 8 children ages 12-28. I have found joy in raising my children along with being very much involved in their education and faith. Naturally a compassionate, well organized, disciplined educator who is motivated to truly help any individual grow. Confident in my ability to build trusting relationships with students, parents, co-workers, and community members with the life experience I have had throughout the years. I am skillful in directing classroom environments and enhancing student behavior through positive and forward-thinking approaches.
