Latonia began her career with Discovery Latam/USH nearly nine years ago as the Director of Media Planning.  She pioneered this department from conception to completion.  As part of regionalization, the department was recently restructured and is now considered a vital aspect of Content Operations.  That being said, Latonia was recently assigned to her new role as Director of NPS, which is a fusion of various operational teams.  Within this newly defined role, she has ultimately been tasked with directing and leading the implementation of core business initiatives, particularly those focused on providing superior operational support for Content & Sales to achieve the overall business objectives.

She has obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Arts & Sciences, Sociology from the University of Arkansas.  In her spare time, Latonia enjoys traveling, exercising and spending time with family and friends.  She currently resides in Miami Shores, Florida.
