Candice earned her MA in ethnomusicology and certificate in Pacific Islands studies at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in 2012. Her thesis, “Te Kauhiva Tokelau: Composing and Choreographing Cultural Sustainability,” won the Norman Meller Award for Best Pacific-Focused MA Thesis in 2012 and was subsequently published as a CPIS Occasional Paper in 2015. Her primary research interests include the music and dance of Tokelau and its diaspora and Pacific Islands representation in film music. Prior to her appointment as managing editor in 2019, she served the center as its graduate assistant for publications from 2010 to 2016, providing support for the center’s flagship publications and codeveloping the center’s student writing program, Write Oceania, alongside then-Managing Editor Jan Rensel. In 2017, she returned to the center to serve as its dedicated Write Oceania graduate assistant for three semesters before transitioning into her publications role.
