  • Morgen grew up showing horses in rural Kentucky, where she developed a deep appreciation for the region's down-home cuisine: hearty bowls of "soup beans" served with cornbread and a bottle of Ale-8 (a ginger-ale-type soda with secret ingredients.)
  • In 2018, she traveled to Austin and discovered the city's legendary "low and slow" barbecue.
  • When she's not writing, she's testing out TikTok's wildest baking trends, including a viral Oreo banana bread.

Experience

Morgen has a long and "storied" career as a professional writer. After studying screenwriting at USC and writing script coverage for Disney and Warner Bros., Morgen shifted toward branding and marketing, where she applied the same storytelling techniques to major fast food brands like Fatburger and Johnny Rockets. She considers herself a true Angeleno, having enjoyed the city and its multicultural cuisine for nearly two decades.

Education

Morgen earned a BFA in screenwriting from the University of Southern California.
