She first delved into crime reporting at IndyStar, where she tackled breaking news and covered homicides at her internship. She's also worked on the digital side of news during her time at NPR member station Michigan Public. Outside of the newsroom, you might find Morgan browsing thrift stores, listening to indie pop music or continuing her perpetual hunt for the perfect chai latte.
