Morgan’s journey in senior living started at a young age when she would go to work with her mom, who worked as a physical therapist at a community throughout her career. During high school, she worked as a dining room server in her local senior living community, solidifying her passion through direct daily interactions with residents. Going to college, Morgan knew that senior living was her calling and after graduating first in her class with a degree in Finance she went headfirst into the industry. She started out at a large corporation, immersing herself in all the different operational facets of the business. She then transitioned to Ascent Living Communities and worked at various communities in various roles. She helped Ascent’s growth with community level support with acquisitions and new construction projects.
