Kandice Kucharczyk

Information Technology Operations Consultant

Meet Kandice. 

A first‑generation college graduate and lifelong learner, Kandice began her career with aspirations in medicine, motivated by a desire to help others. When health challenges required her to change direction, Kandice found a new way to make an impact through technology—applying both her medical knowledge and technical skills to improve healthcare experiences. As she pursued a degree in IT, she strengthened her real‑world readiness by building practical cybersecurity and technology skills through Cengage’s hands‑on learning experiences. That continued upskilling helped her gain confidence, stand out to leadership and step into a new role tailored to her strengths. Today, Kandice uses her journey to inspire other women to pursue careers in tech, demonstrating how lifelong learning can help individuals translate purpose into impact and turn evolving skills into meaningful influence.
