Candice: Gurnee tutor
Certified Tutor
Hi, I'm Candice, a certified HR leader with over a decade of experience helping people and organizations thrive. I've led people operations for companies ranging from startups to national brands, and I know firsthand what it takes to succeed in today's HR world because I've lived it.
I became SHRM-CP certified to deepen my impact and open new doors, and now I'm here to help you do the same. Whether you're just getting started in HR or looking to level up, I'll meet you where you are and break the material down in a way that's clear, supportive, and practical. I'm all about making the concepts stick not just for the test, but for your real-life career.
Expect an interactive, encouraging space where we bring HR to life with real examples, honest conversations, and a little bit of fun along the way. My goal? To help you pass with confidence and walk into any HR room ready to lead.
Let's get you certified and moving forward in your HR journey!

Outside of HR, I’m a proud mom to a vibrant toddler and growing young adult who both teaches me patience, resilience, and dance moves on a daily basis. I’m also an aspiring children’s book author, a small business owner, and a big believer in doing meaningful work that reflects who you are. Whether I’m helping someone pass the SHRM-CP exam, build confidence in their career, or plan for you to look unforgettable for an event through my business, my heart is always in creating supportive, affirming spaces for people to thrive. I love to travel big trips each quarter and smaller getaways almost every month and I make it a point to enjoy concerts, comedy shows, and live events year-round. Style is also one of my creative outlets; I love putting together looks that are both fun and comfortable. I lead with empathy, teach with clarity, and cheer loudly for anyone chasing their next big step. Let’s grow together professionally and personally.
