LaToya is the first female, minority, and non-military director of a residential program for struggling youth. She has also worked with youth at the South Carolina Dept. of Social Services and the South Carolina Dept. of Juvenile Justice. Equipped with CIU’s Youth Ministry degree, LaToya takes her passion for youth and leads her team in caring for and educating teens who have trouble succeeding in a normal high school setting. She feels most fulfilled when she is able to witness transformation in the students, from the moment they walk through the door to the day they graduate from the program.
