Candi
Patient Care Coordinator
Candy is originally from Tri-Cities, Washington. After visiting OMSI, the Oregon coast and other places near Portland as a youngster, she knew that once she was old enough, she would make Portland her home. Now having lived here for 14+ years, she considers the move to be one of the best decisions she’s ever made. Candi attended Warner-Pacific College and Portland Community College.
Being an avid crafter, Candi finds time to crotchet, do wood and canvas imaging, making personalized gifts and paying video games. A few of the things Candi likes about Portland: the variety of restaurants (Sweet Hereafter, Sushi Mazi, The Bye and Bye and Hammy’s Pizza are among her favorites), the greenways that allow her to bike everywhere, and the overall positive and conscientious vibe of Portland.
Candi enjoys working at Aspire Dental because of the amazing patients and great crew she gets to spend her day with. Everyone is enjoyable to Candi and she always looks forward to catching up with patients at their visits. Next time you’re in, tell her your sun sign and she can tell you all about yourself. Or better yet, ask her to juggle. Kids love it.

Outside of work Courtney can be found doing activities around town with her husband and Australian Shepherd. On a nice day, she likes to golf and when it’s not so nice, Courtney likes to watch the latest football and basketball games. In addition to sports, she likes crafting and decorating. Decorating what? Eggs? Houses? You’ll have to ask her.
