Candace Blanchard
I am a native of North Carolina. After college graduation I started a career in corporate America and was recruited into the entertainment industry shortly after. I have enjoyed being able to work in the corporate world as well as TV and film. I worked for several years as a lifestyle model working throughout the Southeast. Landing roles in local and regional commercials was the start and quickly added TV and film acting to my resume. I became SAG eligible on the Denzel Washington film, Flight. One of my favorite places? In front of the camera!
Being crowned Mrs. North Carolina 2011 gave me a platform to share my passion for CPR education through the American Red Cross. In 2008 I had to perform CPR when my dad had a massive heart attack. I was not able to save his life, but I urge you to learn CPR.
When I am not working, I enjoy hanging out with my kids, cooking, and all things fitness. Helping others is a passion of mine. You can see me on WXLV interviewing local businesses on the Business News Update segment.
