Meet Morgan, Our Intern Turned Teammate We Can’t Live Without!
Can you quickly describe yourself?
I have been with Breakwater since 2020, so I am coming up on my 5 year work anniversary and I am part of the For-profit team.
I currently reside in Arlington, Virginia. I am an avid traveler, I love trying new restaurants, and spending time at sporting events with family and friends.
What is your favorite part of working at Breakwater?
My favorite part about working at Breakwater is having the opportunity to help our clients and make a meaningful impact on their lives. Whether it’s solving a problem, offering guidance, or just being a sounding board for decision making, it is incredibly rewarding watching our work help businesses grow and succeed.
What is a Breakwater memory that will always make you smile?
I always enjoy going on our all staff retreats! It is great being able to spend time connecting with my coworkers in person as well as learning more about them outside of our usual work setting. It is great being able to have time to relax and enjoy ourselves!
