Candace Phillips grew up and graduated from high school in Superior, Montana before pursuing her passion for science. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of Montana Western in Dillon and went on to complete her Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology online at Idaho State University.

She loves working with children of all ages. Her background includes hands-on internship experience in the Frenchtown School District as well as a tele-practice externship serving the Wolf Point School District.

Candace uniquely integrates her biology background with years of experience as a Certified Dental Assistant. This dual expertise allows her to collaborate closely with interprofessional teams to treat the "whole person.”

Outside of the schools, Candace stays constantly on the move running after her kids and animals, enjoying the beauty of the outdoors that only Montana can provide or doing something artsy. She is excited to join the Missoula Area Education Cooperative team!
