About Me.

Hi. I'm Candace Wilson. I was born in Guyana, South America. My family then moved to Dominica, a small island in the Caribbean. We lived there for 3 and 1/2 years. We then moved to Ontario, California for a year, then to Nashville, Tennessee. We lived in Tennessee for 3 and 1/2 years and subsequently moved to Rancho Cucamonga, California. We have been in Rancho since I was in 7th grade and I love it. However, my studies have led me to migrate from Rancho Cucamonga many times. I moved to Riverside for my undergraduate education. I attened the University of California, Riverside from 2002-2006. I majored in Biology and obtained a minor in Spanish. During the summer after my sophomore year at UCR I completed a research project in Mexico City which looked for a therapeutic vaccine for the HPV virus. This experience inspired me to attend graduate school. I began the Masters in Biotechnology/ MBA program at CSUCI in the fall of 2006. My time at CSUCI led me to my career at Oxnard College. I currently teach Biology lecture and laboratory at Oxnard College. I will be teaching Microbiology Laboratory at Oxnard College during the summer months. When my time here at Channel Islands comes to an end, I plan to attend medical school. I should be starting this last leg of my educational career in August if all goes well. But I will definately miss eveyone I met here at Channel Islands!!
