Morgan is a Developer Relations Program Manager at Microsoft focusing on Student Advocacy.    Here is more about Morgan in her own words   I feel in love with STEM in 5th grade during my 3 hour tenure commanding the starship Voyager. From there my passion for science, exploration, experimentation, gamification, STEM education, space, and computers grew and grew. It started with me saving my babysitting money to buy Star Trek Voyager and then Battlestar Galactica and later turned into me saving my food/retail job money to buy a Raspberry Pi and my first Dell Inspiron laptop. Truth is, I never intended to work in tech, much less at Microsoft. I never thought I was smart enough or technical enough. Truth is, a lot of days I still feel that way. But the other truth is, I love what I do. I’m a proud geek. And that is that.   You can follow Morgan on Social Media  https://twitter.com/livelovegeek  https://hellomorgan.dev/     PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST   - Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6ddVKXbZGtMz3y66D9QD0e  - Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coffee-and-open-source/id1589875016  - Google Podcasts: hhttps://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy82Mzk4MmY3MC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw  - RSS: http://isaacl.dev/podcast-rss   You can check out more episodes of Coffee and Open Source on https://www.coffeeandopensource.com/​​.   Coffee and Open Source is hosted by Isaac Levin (https://twitter.com/isaacrlevin).
