TESTIMONIALS

Morgana worked with high school students in our musical theatre awards program and was a pillar of focus, generosity of spirit, and enthusiasm. Her ability to allow students the freedom to dig into themselves and their characters with self-compassion and understanding are impactful and unique ways of approaching theatre performance. She speaks to a diverse range of students with specificity, allowing each to bring their own exact selves to the room. She’s a gift to work with! - Allison Bret, Broadway Dallas


During the time I have known and worked with her, I have been very inspired by and have learned a

great deal from Morgana’s style of leadership and her recommendations. In her time with us she has

provided leadership during tough conversations, has been a voice for all, and has stepped up multiple

times, offering a new and fresh perspective to leading a healthy organization. She is an authentic

professional who is genuinely invested in helping other people succeed through her thoughtfulness

and care. She is respectful and optimistic in peer-to-peer conversations and is dedicated to helping

fulfil the organization’s mission. - Rachel Stanfield, Cedars Union
