Candice Wray is a Clinical Psychologist who graduated with a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from the University of the West Indies in Jamaica. She has worked with a wide array of people including children with special needs, adolescents with behavioural challenges, and adults seeking to cope with everyday challenges. Candice is a Jamaican native who, in line with her passion of serving others and a quest for self-development, has embarked on a journey leading her to new horizons in the field of human resource management. This redirection of her career ultimately led her to Taiwan, where she is currently pursuing a PhD in Human Resource Management at National Sun Yat-sen University. Her research interests include organizational behaviours such as workaholism, proactive work behaviours and employee well-being.

Candice and I met for the first time even as we sat down to record this episode. Her experiences as an international student are a cornerstone of her ongoing research and came to be a very interesting part of a good-humoured conversation that I think you’ll really enjoy.

This episode of The Knowledge Mill was recorded on December 3, 2024 on the campus of the University of Wollongong during the 37th Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Academy Management a.k.a. ANZAM.
