The road to Dr. Morgan
I’ve been told that I ask a lot of questions. I guess you can say I’m a curious person. As long as I can remember I’ve always been that way. I’ve spent years wondering…Why are some people more resilient after experiencing trauma, while others can’t seem to move forward? Why do some repeat the same behaviors that caused them pain, creating a cycle that they can’t seem to break? Those questions stuck with me, and now I’m stepping into research, hoping to find answers and bring hope to those who need it most.
I’ve officially been accepted into a PhD program in Psychology, where I’ll focus on trauma, behavior, and mental health in marginalized communities.
This isn’t just a career change, it’s a purpose shift. I plan to stay in education, but this time as a researcher and professor. I want to help people recognize the power they have to heal, grow, and free themselves from the things that were meant to hold them back.

In today's world, understanding trauma and how it affects behavior is crucial, especially within marginalized communities. Research shows that resilience varies widely among individuals impacted by traumatic experiences. Some people find ways to heal and thrive, while others might become trapped in cycles of pain and negative behavior. By focusing on marginalized populations, I aim to uncover the barriers that hinder healing and resilience. The intersection of mental health, education, and support can empower individuals to reclaim their lives and break free from detrimental patterns. Various therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and community-based interventions, provide pathways for personal growth and recovery. As an aspiring researcher and educator, my goal is to contribute to this field by conducting studies that not only shed light on these issues but also offer actionable insights to help others. Furthermore, it is essential to cultivate environments that support mental well-being in educational settings, as this can significantly impact students' lives and futures. By addressing trauma within educational institutions, creating awareness, and fostering inclusive support systems, we can offer hope and healing to those who need it most. In essence, my PhD journey is not just about academic achievement; it is about creating a legacy of understanding, support, and empowerment for marginalized communities affected by trauma.
