Morgan was born in San Fernando, Trinidad, and is the middle child of three girls. At the age of five, her family immigrated to Toronto, Canada. She was studying Political Science at York University when a near-death experience had her rethink her decision to go to law school. When she decided to pursue acting, Morgan impressed producers at her very first audition, landing her a role in Trey Songz's "Wonder Woman" music video. Soon after, Morgan scored her first series regular role as Tracy Dupont-Roymont in YTV's "Family Biz"(2009). 

Morgan continues to make a name for herself on both the small and big screens, landing roles on hit television shows like, "The Best Years" (2009), "Republic of Doyle" (2012), and CW's "Beauty & The Beast" (2012), and "Supernatural"(2013). She has also appeared in feature films like "Beat the World" (2011), "Casino Jack" (2010), "Total Recall" (2012), and "Swearnet" (2013). She recently filmed starring roles in the television movies “Hometown Holiday” and “A Widow’s Nightmare”.

In her spare time, she enjoys watching movies, baking, working out, sharing laughs with friends and family, and eating.  She and her husband are the proud parents of a son, Niam, and a daughter, Naliyah.
