Heidi Morton

Assistant Professor, Education

A twice-over Puget Sound graduate, I am proud to be supporting the university that has been so instrumental in my own personal and professional lives. After close to two decades as a school counselor, the transition to higher education faculty allows me to contribute to the profession and to mental health and wellness in a different way. Favorite personal pastimes include cycling, camping, music (violin and guitar), birding, and anything on or in the water.
