Latonya joined Spectrum eager to learn and to be employed, and she is well on her way to meeting that goal. We have watched her improve in technology, independence, and self confidence, while making friends along the way. In February 2020 Latonya began volunteering at Ronald McDonald House Charities Maryland ( RMHCM). The team at RMHCM says Latonya is “ a hardworking lady”. They invited her to volunteer any time because of her “inviting attitude and personality”. We can’t wait to see what is yet to come for Latonya!
