Kandice Jacobs-Armstrong – is the author of On Creating Kandice: A Poetic Journey
to Spirituality & Self-Discovery, a Christian-Inspirational collection of poetry, self-
published in 2008 through iUniverse and endorsed by Nikki Giovanni - internationally
known poet and (then) Distinguished Professor of English at Virginia Tech
University. Following it’s release, Kandice quickly gained notice as an inspiring and
thought-provoking facilitator/keynote speaker, as well as an unmistakably insightful poet.
Kandice is a graduate of Texas Woman's University, from which she successfully completed a Bachelor's Degree
of General Studies (with concentrations in English, Business and Sociology) - magna cum laude in 2010. Over the
past 16 years, she has garnered considerable professional experience across multiple business environments –
small business, schools, corporate and nonprofit organizations. However, the vast majority of her professional
experience has been primarily focused in the arena of consulting -- providing publishing consulting; assisting
small business start-ups; and assisting entrepreneurs in the process of restructuring their existing small
business.
Kandice is also a graduate of Florida State College at Jacksonville with an Associate of Science in Funeral
Services. In Nov. 2014, she transitioned into a new field of continued service -- as a licensed Funeral
Director/Embalmer intern. With each family Kandice is privileged to service, she strives to gently yet effectively
lead, guide, or advise in the midst of what can be the most chaotic time in the life of families. She is due to
complete her internship this Nov. 2015 and prayerfully transition into full licensure as a Funeral
Director/Embalmer.
Despite her academic/professional success, Kandice firmly defines herself simply as a committed follower of
Christ. She is a faithful member of the Northside Church of Christ, where she serves as an Evangelism teacher
and on the Youth Ministry as a Bible Bowl Coach. After a five-year hiatus, Kandice has resumed writing and is
currently engaged in developing a new book, Chosen for Greatness – focused on promoting the understanding
that every human being has been created for greatness and inspiring the masses to find the courage to answer
their greatness call!
