Candis is a Human Resources Manager on Legal Aid DC's People & Culture team. She joined Legal Aid in January 2018 as Administrative Assistant, was later promoted to Operations Manager, and has been in her current role since January 2023. Candis oversees all aspects of the employee life cycle, to include: recruiting, hiring, onboarding, engagement, retention, and offboarding. She also manages our intern program and mentoring program.

Prior to joining Legal Aid, Candis spent eight years with DC Public Schools (DCPS) in the early childhood education program.
