Morgan began her veterinary career in 2020.  She earned her BS in chemistry and MS in Materials Science, both from Texas A&M.  After working in engineering and logistics for a few years, it was time for a change, and after a very short time in vet med, she knew she had finally found her calling.  She graduated from Blinn with her AAS in Veterinary Technology and earned her license in 2023.  She works as a small animal relief technician at several different GP and ER locations and appreciates the flexibility this provides.  Morgan enjoys teaching young technicians and helping build their confidence and skill.  Her small zoo includes 2 dogs, a cat, 2 guinea pigs, and a betta.

I started as a kennel tech at an emergency clinic in California. When I moved to Texas in 2012, I moved from kennel tech to veterinary assistant and then dabbled in some reception to help out. Once I started at Texas A&M in the Large Animal clinic I was hooked as a veterinary technician. I am passionate about teaching others how to grow in leadership and technical skillset. I graduated from the Blinn veterinary technology program in May 2025, then passed my VTNE in the June/July window.  I now work for VEG as a nurse supervisor and a part-time instructor for Blinn College in their veterinary technology program. I want to make a positive impact in our profession, and I am excited to help our profession grow!
