Managing Director, Co-Owner

Morgan has lived all over Canada, from coast to coast, but British Columbia is where she calls home. Morgan graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley in 2016, with a  Bachelor of Arts degree with a dual major in Psychology and Philosophy.

After graduating, Morgan spent many years working various jobs in the private sector. This allowed her to gain experience in management roles, travel the country, and eventually start a career working with children. Morgan discovered her passion for speech therapy, while working with children who have special needs as a Behaviour Interventionist and later as a Communication Health Assistant. 

Morgan recognized during her time working with children that she could further help children by starting a clinic that provided services for those in need. She is committed to helping coordinate and organize these services for others. 

When Morgan is not managing the clinic, her favourite things to do are trying out new recipes, relaxing with her cats, or scouting out her next travelling location.
