Born and raised in Columbia, Kandy grew up in extreme poverty. School and academia were her salvation and through the guidance of her grandfather, she was able to find the internal fortitude that helped her survive the hardships encountered at such a young age.

Fate also had plans for Kandy’s life. As an adult, her sister had been invited to a party, but Kandy went instead. At the party, she met a US Marine, and the next day, he asked her to marry him. She already had two children and didn’t speak English, but because he had accepted the entire package, she said yes, and three months later, they were married and came to the United States.

Because her husband was in the military, and on deployment often, he encouraged Kandy to pursue her education and to become independent just in case anything happened to him, and he was no longer able to support her. She learned to speak English, drive, and continued her education.

Today, not only does Kandy have her master’s degree, but also her PhD. She worked her way through corporate America and had also worked for Homeland Security. Eventually Kandy started her own coaching business and now runs a multi-million-dollar career.

Her hard work and determination have given Kandy a rags-to-riches life. Tune in to a story of a person who lives in gratitude, is thankful for the doors God has opened, and shows what the power of focus can do to change the trajectory of one’s life.
