Candice was born on 24th June 1988 in Jackson, Mississippi, but was raised mainly in Plano, Texas. She was born to the couple Paul Patton and Arianna Jackson and went to St. Paul School in Plano to complete her high school education. While in her childhood days, she found her inclination for acting and performance, and it only developed in later years.
After completing her high school degree, she went to Southern Methodist University in Dallas and got her degree in Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2007. This laid the foundation of her career in acting, and she even received formal training for the same by performing in theatres.
Candice’s career started in 2004 when she competed in a contest, CBS’s Soap Star Screen Test, and won it, gaining her nationwide recognition. Post this, she appeared on the daytime soap “The Young and the Restless.” This officially marked her career in television and marked her entry in the world of entertainment.
