certified virtual presenter

Dr. Candace (Candy) Campbell is an award-winning actress, author,  filmmaker ('Micropremature Babies: How Low Can You Go?')...and retired nurse, who works with corporate and individual clients to achieve peak performance cultures and success.


As an actress, her 3rd solo show, 'Florence Nightingale: The Reluctant Celebrity,' an edutaining and inspiring look into the life and times of one of history's most influential women, was off-Broadway in 2023, and audiences in the US and three other countries, have given rave reviews.


Candy co-founded an improv and stand-up comedy group, 'The Barely Insane Players,' in the San Francisco area,  which led to teaching applied improv (since 1995), a doctorate on interprofessional communication and collaboration using applied improv, several books, and three solo shows.

In addition, her versatility as a Master of Ceremonies (MC or emcee?!) emanates from her days of stand-up comedy (always CLEAN) and the considerable humor needed to raise three children who turned out normal.
