Meet Challis Morgan
As the organization's Content Writer and Communications Specialist, Challis brings a storyteller's lens to everything she does, crafting messages that reflect the voices and values of the ASRM community.
A self-described extrovert, Challis thrives on collaboration and conversation. After earning her degree in Communications from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, she spent five years at a local news station, where she honed her skills as an award-winning podcast producer and writer. She has also written for several local publications and continues to contribute to community-based projects. Joining ASRM has been a natural next step in her creative journey.
"I've always wanted to get into nonprofit work," she shares. "I value the mission here and am so excited to be lending my skillset to reproductive medicine."
Though she's only been with ASRM for a few months, Challis is already making her mark by amplifying the stories of the people who make the organization what it is. "Our staff, our members, and our leadership all work so hard to advance reproductive medicine," she says. "Each month, I package these stories and distribute them via our blog and our monthly newsletter. My role is to elevate their voices."
She is especially energized by the culture at ASRM. "This organization is full of people who are so good at what they do and have so much experience doing it. They're a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help in a heartbeat," she says. "It's been an honor working for ASRM and helping to strengthen the network of support that's vital to community success."
At the 2025 ASRM Scientific Congress & Expo, Challis is most looking forward to meeting members face to face. "I plan to take a microphone and a recorder and go around to find out what everyone has been up to," she says. "What are you excited about? What are you struggling with? How can ASRM help? It's my mission to find out."
Outside of work, she draws inspiration from figures like Barack and Michelle Obama. "They're just regular people who made good on the incredible path they were put on," she reflects. "They lived the reality of their dreams together, and I loved watching that."
Her best piece of career advice? "Show up for yourself first. You can't treat others with dignity and respect if you don't do it for yourself." She believes that healthy people build healthy organizations and that investing in yourself is the first step toward meaningful contribution.
