Meet Latasha Reindl
Latasha serves as the Director of Service Operations Excellence with Schneider Electric.
A Milwaukee native, Latasha attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, studying Economics and Business, before attending Concordia University, where she obtained her Master’s Degree in Business with a Finance concentration.
She lives in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin with her husband and two kids, and is an active volunteer within the community - something her employer Schneider Electric very actively supports.
Grateful for Schneider Electric's support
Latasha volunteers because she wants to be the change she wants to see tomorrow, as well as an example to others.
"I’m grateful that Schneider Electric supports me on this lifelong journey," she says. "Schneider Electric supports many different foundations and partners, and encourages employees to give back to communities through mentoring, training, and volunteering."
Taking part in various community projects
Latasha has exercised her passion for volunteering by working with different organizations over the years as well as taking part in volunteering on an individual level.
These include volunteering at a local children's hospital by organizing event where people adopted families during the holiday season; working with non-profit United Way of Milwaukee & Waukesha County that works to eradicate poverty in health, education, housing, and workforce development through mobilizing people and resources; and organizing a team of around 100 people to help beautify a school in the inner city of Milwaukee before the children returned to their classes in the fall.
Sharing her lessons learnt
Volunteering is a huge part of Latasha, and the projects that she works on pour into her as much as she pours into them. Latasha shares the lessons she has learnt volunteering:
- Don’t Change Who You Are: All the experiences in my life, the good and the bad, help define who I am as a person. I would not change that for the world. Embrace who you are and allow that to lead the way in your effort to help others.
- Dream Big: Have a plan, even if it changes. As a kid, all I wanted was a quality education, to not drink, smoke or use drugs. I’m proud to say that with dedication and focus, I have held to all of those things and achieved my goals.
- Be the CHANGE you want to see tomorrow: Be an example for others; I tend to look for volunteer opportunities that provide me with a chance to give back to the little kids that I once resembled.
"Volunteering provides you the opportunity to do good for others and your community and give back to those around you. I encourage you to spend some time volunteering with local organizations – you never know the lessons you will learn and the impact you can make!" she adds.
