A Cali-girl, with southern roots--Latosha was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area (Milpitas/San Jose) of California, though she and her family now reside in North Carolina. Latosha earned a Bachelor degree in Political Science from Spelman College in Atlanta, GA, and a Master of Education in Higher Education Administration from NC State University in Raleigh, NC. Latosha considers herself a lifelong learner as she works at a snail's pace toward completing her seemingly never-ending Ph.D. coursework.
Latosha's Clifton Strengths are Restorative, Activator, Harmony, Input, Learner. Latosha aims to keep a keen eye for identifying process and procedure gaps and to keep a healthy curiosity for information, data, and research that can inform action steps towards the implementation of change.
Latosha considers herself an equity-minded administrator and values building coalitions across differences. Latosha says that her service and leadership is guided by this quote from Aboriginal Activist, Dr. Lilla Watson: “If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is tied up with mine, then let us work together.”
Latosha will be transitioning into the Parliamentarian role in the coming weeks and will meet with the Board at this year's Annual Conference. A special thank you to Brian Glick, outgoing Parliamentarian, for all his hard work & commitment to ASCA!
