New IES Staff (cont.)

With two kids, a dog, and a contractor husband, Candace’s days are filled with concerns ranging from welcoming the latest Cambridge scholar to making sure that the Halloween costumes satisfy her kids’ creative standards. Like all our staff, Candace helps envision, plan, and execute a busy schedule of events on the UK and Ireland, for instance a well-attended conference on Scottish Romanticism earlier this year.
