Tati Payne

Tati was born and raised in Las Vegas, NV and moved to Cedar City, UT to attend Southern Utah University. There she received her bachelor’s degree in Family Life and Human Development. It was also at this time that she began working as a residential mentor at Discovery Ranch for Girls and found a passion for working with struggling adolescents. She worked in a variety of roles within the program which led her to working in the admissions department. There she learned to love working with families and referring professionals. She is passionate about helping families navigate the challenges that come with needing therapeutic placement. Tati is thrilled to be part of the WayPoint Academy team and continue to support families through the admissions process. In her free time she loves spending time with her husband and dog, traveling to new places, and spending time outdoors.
