​
A quote that Morgan truly loves and would like to share is by Brene Brown and reads, "Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light."

​
Tonya has always been drawn to the areas of endocrinology including diabetes management, thyroid and pituitary disorders, and reproductive disorders, rheumatology-specifically autoimmune disorders, and hematology. In her own words, she has stated, "These areas are a significant problem in more rural areas due to lack of specialists readily available for further management of disorders. Patients in these areas should have access to treatment based on up-to-date research without having care delayed for weeks or possibly even months. As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I see healthcare as a field of science and medicine but I also see it as a complex art form that encompasses a holistic approach to the well-being of the human body and this is what I am hoping to bring to the community.".
