About Netdancer/Qualifications
In 1995, Netdancer Internet Consulting was established, specializing in design, development and corporate training. Netdancer has established web-presences for the small business owner, large coporations and non-profit organizations, as well as project managing and training at Colorado University in Boulder, Colorado.
Candace is presently engaged as a corporate webmaster with a Fortune 500 company but maintains her position as an independent internet architect.
Candace is a graduate of the University of Delaware with a degree in Chemistry and Education and extra graduate studies at the Art Institute of Colorado, majoring in multimedia and web. After pursuing a career as an explosives chemist in aerospace and strategic defense with the Thiokol Corporation, in Maryland and OEA in Denver, Colorado for 15 years, she decided to pursue another "bleeding edge" technology, that of internet design and development.
