We want to thank Morgan for spending some time with us and letting us get to know about her life and her love of the area.
Q: What led you to your current career?
A: When I was at LSU, I interned in the Marketing Department at Lamar's corporate office in Baton Rouge. It was a great internship, and I learned a lot. After I graduated, I worked at Tangi Lifestyles doing ad sales, and thought I would be there for a while. Lamar called me and asked if I would be interested in working with them again, and offered me a great position. That was about 10 years ago, and I love my job.
Q: What is your favorite restaurant in the area, and what do you like to get there?
A: Cena is my favorite restaurant. I love the gnocchi, whatever the market fish is, and their cucumber basil martini with no simple syrup.
Q: What is your favorite childhood memory?
A: The neighborhood that we grew up in. My husband grew up in the same neighborhood, and so did many of our childhood friends. We rode bikes, had clubhouses, and we were always playing. We actually live in the same neighborhood now!
Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? And why?
A: Italy, the Amalfi Coast!
Q: What is your favorite movie?
A: My favorite movie has always been Clueless!
Q: What advice would you give a group of people?
A: The prettiest person in the room is the one smiling.
Q: What is something on your bucket list?
A: Going to Italy. Definitely more traveling. There are so many places I would like to go to.
Q: What is your favorite music or an artist/band that you would like to see?
A: I listen to it all - from country to rap. I have been to some great concerts. I saw Tom Petty before he died. Garth Brooks and Britney Spears were good, too!
Q: What current or former business makes you the most nostalgic about the area?
A: The Cuco’s restaurant in the old mall by the movie theater. Everyone had a birthday dinner there for the free dessert!
Q: If you could choose one person to go to lunch with, who is it and where would you go?
A: My grandfather "(my father’s Dad). I was very young when he passed, so I would like to get to know him as an adult. He was one of the founders of St. Thomas and was on the Board for North Oaks Hospital.
Q: What is your favorite thing or something unique that you love about the area?
A: We are a small town, but there is everything you need. There are so many locally-owned businesses, too. I really like that.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
A: Still with Lamar; I really love my job. We are in our forever home now, so continuing to make it home with my family. Still a part of Covey Rise. And our salsa to be in Wal-Mart stores!
Q: What is something interesting that most people don’t know about you (even friends or family)?
A: I really am an open book! Most people don't know I wake up at 4am to work out, though! Also, I spent 49 nights at Children's Hospital in PICU with Kennedy. She caught a virus as a newborn, and it led us to the hospital for over a month.
Q: What is a word or phrase that comes to mind when you think of the word “Home”?

A: Either listen to rap music very loud or listen to Heather McMahan's podcast.
Q: What is the last gift you gave and received?
