Morgan is a mom of 3 young boys, a wife, and the founder of a new community building app called BaseCampEd. Prior to starting BaseCampEd, Morgan spent over a decade working as a corporate recruiter, learning firsthand the challenges that come with balancing a career and family. Making matters even more complex, her family moves every 2-3 years due to her husband’s job. This made building a community all the more difficult.

As her oldest son was approaching Kindergarten, her interest in homeschooling started to grow. She wanted to take control of her children's education while also being able to support her family. This led to the idea of BaseCampEd. She thought, if there was a way to connect with local parents to create family co-ops to share some of the duties and also to explore educational resources all in one place, it could make homeschooling that much more accessible.

This amazing platform launched in February 2025 and she is so excited for the future of this community.
