Welcome to our featured writers series, where once a month we invite someone from the Syed Pillar community - donor, volunteer, or just interested in the cause - to write for our email series. Our featured writer for today is Morgan Nelson Anwar. Morgan has grown up in Texas and now lives in Houston with her husband, son and two stepdaughters. Morgan works as a Technology Manager in the Oil & Gas sector. Over her career she has seen a small number of women in leadership positions in her industry. She works through various women’s organizations and mentorship of her colleagues to empower women to take on these leadership roles. Supporting Syed Pillar’s Mission: Morgan worked as a public school teacher for 3 years and saw
firsthand the impact that teachers can have on students. A teacher can be many
things to a student; a mentor, a friend, a source of knowledge and someone a
child can trust. She believes that providing education to children gives them a
solid foundation for not only positively impacting their lives but also the
lives of those around them.
