Alumni Spotlight: Morgan Made

Alumna Spotlight MORGAN MADE

Morgan McGlasson (’18)

Hello, Legacy family! My name is Morgan McGlasson. I’m a 2018 Legacy alumna, now a second-semester senior majoring in public relations at the University of Oklahoma. I’m very involved with my sorority, Chi Omega, serving as Chapter President and formerly as its New Member Educator. I also highly value the Christian community that I’ve found through OU’s on-campus ministry, Crossover.

About a year and a half ago, I embarked on the journey of starting my own business. As my friends and family began picking up new hobbies and pastimes during the pandemic’s quarantine, I wanted to spend my time on something meaningful (and make some money while doing it!). Knowing my “type-A” personality, I was aware that an excessive amount of baking or binge-watching TV shows wasn’t going to cut it. My best friend since freshman year of high school and also an LCA ’18 graduate, Halee Biggs, had just launched her business and it was inspiring to watch her transform a passion into a side hustle.

In May 2020, after days of brand brainstorming, watching how-to videos on YouTube, and incurring my first big “business” expenses, Morgan Made was born.

Morgan Made is a company owned and operated by yours truly, designing and selling personalized iPhone cases. From collaborating with well-known Instagram influencers to being interviewed for a podcast called How’d She Do That? featuring successful female entrepreneurs, I’ve learned many lessons about the world of business and the importance of marketing, time management, networking, and hard work. As of today, I’ve made and sold more than 550 Morgan Made phone cases, working out of my bedroom in my home in Frisco and out of my sorority house at the University of Oklahoma.

While enjoying my final semester at OU and experiencing all of my college “lasts,” I’ve been reminiscing about all of the opportunities I had by the grace of God and the fruitful foundation I was blessed to cultivate at my small private Christian school — Legacy Christian Academy.

LCA prepared me for college in more ways than I can put into words: from the logistical standpoint of entering college ahead of the game with dual-credit courses and solid study habits under my belt, to the intangible elements of Christian leadership skills and an unshakable, theologically supported faith.

Upon graduation and returning to the great state of Texas, I plan to continue investing my time and efforts into Morgan Made for as long as possible, while also working full time in the PR/marketing industry.
