DonnaBellas Angels Board Members
Laurel Latto
DBA Founder, Clinical Research Consultant, and Artist
Ms. Latto has worked in the clinical research industry since 1996. She has focused mainly on oncology research and has visited medical clinics throughout North America. This work gave her an appreciation for creating a healing environment for patients and their caregivers that extends beyond medicine. Ms. Latto is also an artist. Her portfolio is available at LattoArts.com. Ms. Latto's consulting company is DonnaBellas for scientific and art consulting. In 2005, she started painting “cancer angels” and providing them to clinics, patients, and caregivers.

Ms. Sandy networked with Ms. Latto on LinkedIn and saw a website link for DonnaBellas Angels. After reviewing DBA website, Ms. Sandy was inspired to be a part of the group.
