Portrait of former EV camper/tutee Latoyia Edwards

New England Cable News is as proud of their reporter as we here at EV are. Their web site (http://www.necn.com/shows/96/node/359) says: LATOYIA EDWARDS joined the NECN family as a morning reporter in 2005, arriving from WWLP-22 in Springfield, MA, where she had been a weekday anchor. A native of Boston's Dorchester neighborhood, Edwards graduated magna cum laude from Emerson College with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. She began her career as a news writer for WBZ-1030AM radio, and later reported for the Fox affiliate WICZ-TV 40 in Binghamton, NY. She first anchored television for MediaOne cable news network, while also reporting as the morning drive news anchor for WILD 1090AM. Additionally, Edwards has instructed courses for the Connecticut School of Broadcasting. In 2002, Edwards was crowned Miss Massachusetts in the USA pageant. She is married, and greatly enjoys volunteering with youth groups.
Check out Latoyia's own first person account of her time with us, "EV and I", on our web site: http://earthen-vessels.org/evandi.htm
Latoyia has agreed to MC our Chocolate Buffet and Silent Auction on May 1st: come and meet her!
