Morna studied Family and Child Services at Virginia Tech and her passion for the health of the family has only grown stronger over time.

She has worked in two non-profit ministries where her vocation of “offering space for wrestling” has been central to the mission. At Birthmother Ministries, with great care, Morna invited women with unplanned pregnancies into her life and into her home. Morna has served her community through The Falls Church Fellows Program for many years, and she also leads a bible study for a small group of new mothers called “Babes with Babes.” Morna and her husband Chris, an architect, live in Arlington where they raised three children who are now young adults.
