Kelly Morgan

Kelly's passion for teaching can be traced back to teaching her baby dolls, Barbies, and stuffed animals in Greenville, South Carolina.  She grew up in the upstate where she had dreams of being just like Vanna White (Wheel of Fortune) or Mariah Carey but decided teaching was more her speed.  

She is a graduate from Southern Wesleyan University where she majored in Elementary Education with a concentration in missions. She loves to travel, meet new people, explore nature,and learn new things. Those passions and experiences prepared her to achieve her National Board Certification and write multiple grants for STEM education as well as an outdoor classroom for students in the western North Carolina area.

Kelly has taught Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades for 19 years. When she is not busy with teaching, she can be found taking pictures, singing, cooking, playing in the dirt (plants & gardening), and spending time with her family. She and her husband Ryan have a daughter, son, and a golden doodle.

She can’t wait to get started on her journey at FernLeaf!
