Get to Know Candy
My name is Candy Bridgers. My goal is to empower individuals, spread happiness, and live peacefully. I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds, learning about different cultures, and traveling.
One of my personal goals is to visit all seven continents. I also love movies, music, comedy, and sharing uplifting messages with students.
One message I like to share with students is simple: keep moving forward, even when things feel difficult.
