Morgan joined CAVU in June 2025 as the Education Director, bringing with her eight years of experience teaching middle school in both Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Boise, Idaho. As Education Director, she leads the development and implementation of the Climate Innovation Challenge.

Morgan earned her BS in Rehabilitation Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where internships sparked her passion for working with students and inspired her to pursue a career in education. After graduating, she served with AmeriCorps, coordinating math tutoring programs for first-generation college-bound students while earning her teaching license and a Master’s in Education.

Morgan began her teaching career in Milwaukee, where she taught 6th grade at a Title I school. She then relocated to Boise, where she spent seven years teaching 6th and 7th grade Design at a public charter school. It was there, in 2021, that she discovered the CIC and introduced it to her students. The project quickly became a highlight of her curriculum—enthusiastically requested by students year after year—and evolved into a cornerstone of her classroom. Over time, Morgan also collaborated with CAVU staff on CIC curriculum revisions, and while she’ll miss being in the classroom, she’s thrilled to join the team in a permanent role. 

Morgan is deeply passionate about creating real-world, meaningful, and accessible learning opportunities, like CIC, for all students. She believes education is a powerful tool to help young people find their voice, understand their impact, and become active participants in shaping a more just and sustainable future. Outside of her work in climate education, Morgan enjoys spending time with her young daughter, Frankie, as well as running long distances, hiking, skiing, and cooking up new recipes.
