As the Herald evolved into a digital newsroom, Candace embraced emerging technologies and the convergence of media. As one of four founding members of the Herald’s Visual Journalism Department, she helped pioneer the creation of new storytelling models for the newspaper’s online audience. Later, she took on the role of lead trainer for reporters, editors and photographers who were transitioning from traditional print methods to digital storytelling. Driven by a desire to diversify her skill set and expand into more thoughtful, less deadline-driven storytelling, Candace left the Herald in 2009 to focus on long-form documentary filmmaking. After graduating with top honors from the School of Visual Arts MFA Social Documentary Film program, Candace began working with accomplished producers in New York. In addition to working for others, she filmed, produced and is in the process of securing distribution for her first feature-length documentary, “Detroit Dog City.”
