For the talent portion of the competition, she will be singing and yodeling Patsy Montana’s “I Want to Be a Cowboy’s Sweetheart” and accompanying herself on guitar. She is a self-taught musician and guitar player of over 16 years. Morgan is heavily involved in her communities and is proud of her southeastern Kentucky roots.

She is a food insecurity advocate with her community service initiative of “Feeding Our Future.” She works with local charitable organizations and with children directly in schools to make sure they have the food they need, along with skills that can empower them to be successful and emotionally healthy regardless of the circumstances they’ve had to overcome.
