Trudy Morgan-Cole is a writer and educator. After 27 years of teaching high school and adult education English and social studies, she currently works as intake coordinator at The Murphy Centre, helping adult learners navigate paths to completing their education. Her career as an educator has focused on helping students overcome barriers to success and find their own voices. An author of over 20 books, her acclaimed historical novels focus on Newfoundland history, with a particular interest in uncovering and recreating women’s stories. Her latest work, the Cupids Trilogy, deals with the founding of the first English colony in Newfoundland, attempting to reimagine the stories of women colonists and critically examine their role in colonialism. She cares deeply about education, the importance of the arts in our community and the need to uplift and centre marginalized voices, all concerns which inform her interest in the future of Memorial University and her desire to contribute by serving on the Board of Regents.
