Career: 
Biology Faculty 
Professor Morris loves working with Wheaton students because they inspire her with their energy, intellect, honesty, and integrity. She teaches nutrition, immunology, a Freshman First Year Seminar, and Bio 112 laboratories.  

Riding History:
A rider since the age of 9, Professor Morris got into riding through her sister asking for a horse, and then they both participated in 4H and eventually progressed to showing and three-day eventing with Pony Club. She loves the precision and grace of dressage, but also feels that trail riding as a family is a great way to build memories.

Favorite Quote:
"You must acquire the trick of ignoring those who don't like you. In my experience, those who don't like you fall into two categories: the stupid and the envious. The stupid will like you in five year's time. The envious, never."
