Morgan has managed the Urban Ag Internship Program at CLBL since the summer of 2021. She is an educator who believes no human should ever stop learning and growing. Morgan received her B.A. in Psychology and M.A. in Teaching at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, NY. Over the last 10 years, she’s had the opportunity to teach and learn from an incredible and diverse array of students within multiple non-traditional educational settings, centering her teaching around social justice informed curriculum, restorative justice practices, student leadership opportunities, and social & emotional learning. While her passion for education has always been constant, Morgan’s love for agriculture was a bit of a late bloomer. While she grew up helping out on her father’s regenerative beef farm, it wasn’t until after college that she came to understand the true peace and fulfillment that growing from the earth can bring. She’s now dedicated endless hours working in her family’s fruit orchards, building her own edible gardens, and starting multiple gardening programs at her previous places of work. In her most recent personal ag venture, Morgan spent 6 months WWOOFing (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms) on a variety of different farms while she lived in New Zealand Aotearoa, including an ecolodge & vineyard, a macadamia nut farm, a self-sustainable community, and a sustainable educational farm. Morgan has deeply loved the opportunity to unite her passion for education, agriculture, and holistic student growth at CLBL. When not on the job, you can find Morgan adventuring in the woods with her beloved dog Nellie, puttering around her backyard gardens, reading in the sun, enjoying laughs with loved ones, and soaking in live music.
