What Makes Morgan an Engineering Leader
Morgan consistently exceeds expectations through an organized, detail-oriented approach that produces high-quality outcomes for her client-facing projects. She brings a positive attitude and professionalism to her interactions, building strong relationships with colleagues and clients alike.
Always willing to take on new efforts, Morgan continually challenges herself to learn—whether exploring new products and technologies or pursuing hobbies outside of work. Her self-motivation to dive into problems, learn, think and solve has made her an exceptional engineer.
Leadership & Industry Contributions
On one project, Morgan helped lead a late-stage integration requiring coordination among multiple vendors and their systems to orchestrate a safety-critical process. Several vendors were poorly prepared, and delays led to finger-pointing among the groups involved.
Morgan remained organized and professional throughout the effort. She communicated effectively with the vendors without becoming involved in the blame, and her detailed documentation enabled her to help lead coordination across the project team. In addition to ensuring her scope was technically sound and delivered on time, Morgan was instrumental in ensuring the integrated solution functioned and operated as required by the client.
Morgan also regularly supports internal training programs. When new engineers, especially recent college graduates, join the team, she is a go-to resource for mentoring and training them in automation engineering and validation skills.
Why Morgan Chose This Career
After studying chemical engineering, Morgan sought a career that would allow her to combine multiple interests and work across disciplines. With an interest in controls and a minor in computer science, she was drawn to automation engineering as a way to bring those areas together.
The field offers a wide variety of projects and applications across industries, keeping the work new and engaging. Morgan enjoys how automation and controls touch many aspects of engineering, allowing her to continually learn while solving problems in varied and meaningful ways.
