Wyman-Klein has received early accolades throughout her high school career as the Diversity Coordinator class of 2008 from the NAACP and the Neighbor Works association for her work with inner city communities in Baltimore, Maryland. Wyman-Klein graduated from Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies with a minor in psychology.
The daughter of an activist, Lasha has followed in the footsteps of those before her donating much of her time to volunteering within the community, specifically low-income, housing and food insecure communities.
Early in her career, Wyman-Klein worked with at-risk groups, including those with mental health and substance addiction difficulties.
In March 2022, she began working as a Vocational Specialist at Keystone Mission, where she helped homeless clients choose their career options by aligning their training, education, and experience with their interests rather than their constraints.
Wyman-Klein assumed the role of Scranton Program Director in 2023, assisting staff with program setup and cultivating connections with other organizations. Her implementation of the Pathfinders Vocational Program, the yearly Go Green Community Clean Up campaign, Keystone's inaugural Poetry & Worship Night for visitors, and her successful advocacy and acquisition of public shower access for the homeless have all occurred during her tenure at Keystone Mission.
