“She's a fantastic facilitator who is skilled at making groups of people feel comfortable and engaged.“

— Mandy P., Training Participant

“Morgain assisted Avalon Housing in the early stages of our diversity, equity, and inclusion work. She supported senior leadership in building concrete skills and behaviors to improve employee engagement, reduce bias, and build a culture of inclusion. Morgain is a talented facilitator who is able to thoughtfully challenge you, and cheer you on. She creates brave spaces where people at varying stages of the work are pushed to learn and grow, while prioritizing the needs of participants of color. She equips you with the tools, support, and encouragement needed to be successful with complex and challenging topics. Morgain brings vision and strategy into the work, and will partner with you in creating a road map that moves your DEI work from a theoretical to an action oriented place. Morgain’s experience is derived from different workplace settings and cultures, which is a tremendous asset for those looking to learn from others. Morgain brings a unique mix of content expertise, passion, humor, and high energy to her work. Her distinctive skill set will strengthen the advancement of your DEI work, as it did for Avalon Housing.”

The sessions were engaging as she made sure to utilize her extensive knowledge base and sense of humor while taking into account the multiple learning styles of the participants. I not only find myself using the information obtained through these trainings on a regular basis, but see my fellow co-workers do so as well. She presents material in a way that is relevant and easy to recall.

Morgain brings a wealth of hands on management and programmatic experience to bear in her diversity consulting and her Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion informed Executive Coaching. I was encountering some difficult equity questions in my organization, and her pragmatic approach helped me cut to the heart of the issue and prioritize the complicating factors. Her specific experience with people management and front line work means she has examples and models to share. She has provided my team with other Equity informed coaching and consulting, and her social worker’s sensibility means she develops insight into not only what people she consults need to work on but the best way for them to approach their own problems. And given that we did all this work during the compounding pressure of COVID-19 changing how all of us have to work, her sense of humor, flexibility, and use of lightweight connection tools meant that it was always a joy to work with her.” 

- Katie Gillum, Executive Director, inroads


Morgain is the kind of leader that knows exactly when to challenge the status quo and when to walk by your side as you grow and learn. She leans in, pushes back, takes leaps, and will even wait for you to catch up. She is a community-driven person with the heart for equity...I saw in her the kind of leader that can move even the most stubborn of mountains.”

“Her many strengths and talents helped bring our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work into sharper focus and a more thoughtful, and actionable, place.  Morgain has many practical skills – including meeting design, communication planning, facilitation, one-on-one coaching, and group training. Her power, however, lies in part with her thoughtful application of these skills.  Morgain is able to connect one-on-one in meaningful and challenging conversations, and just as masterfully lead a large group workshop.  She is able to sense the nuances of dynamics and adjust her approach as needed to get the best results, using her years of experience in the field.  Morgain has experience coaching and working with people at all stages of their DEI journey, delivering practical and actionable methods for individual, group, and business development. Morgain’s awareness and openness match her warm and approachable personality, and it’s a pleasure to work with her.  I enthusiastically recommend working with Morgain, and know that she can help you create and implement your DEI vision.

- Jude Walton, Human Resources Director, Avalon Housing
