Candice Perkins, MD - Illuminant Being & Wellness

I did my undergraduate work at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, graduating in 1990 Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology, with Academic Excellence in Biology. During this period of my study I also did volunteer work at the Middle Earth Crisis Intervention Hotline as a Certified Crisis Counselor. What did I learn during this period of my life? Two important things: I learned to appreciate the awe-inspiring biodiversity of life on this planet. I also learned that what people in crisis need most of all is to be listened to.
