As the Peer Support Coordinator for Able SC, Laquanda brings a concentrated focus to peer support and community engagement. Her work centers on strengthening peer support as a core Independent Living service, developing and supporting the peer mentor network, and deepening engagement with disabled individuals across the community to ensure lived experience remains at the heart of Able SC’s mission.
Laquanda earned her undergraduate degree from Gardner-Webb University and later earned her master’s degree in government from Regent University. While she initially considered law school, she recognized that the greatest need was at the grassroots level and joined Able SC right after completing her studies.
Her advocacy has earned her notable recognition, including the Autism Society’s Educator of the Year award in 2015 and the Governor’s Employment Achievement Award in 2014. Outside of work, Laquanda loves spending time with her husband and two children. She is an avid Gamecock fan, enjoys attending Comic-Con events, and is almost certainly the first person on the dance floor.
