Phyllis T. Morgan (a.k.a. Georgia Faye) is a New Jersey native and published author. She is currently living her dream on a motor yacht in the San Diego Bay as she continues to balance her life with racing sail boats. Her career in education has spread over a fifty-year period, covering three states and several countries, including her eight years as a fifth and sixth grade teacher in Sydney, Australia.

Her last twenty-five years as a leader in Oceanside,California schools steered her to be recognized for many major awards for community and global development, including: Chamber of Congress Administrator of the Year, San Diego Administrator of Zero Waste programs, STEM school development, innovative farm to table programs with “Go Green Agriculture,” San Diego Administrative Technology Award, San Diego Science Alliance Innovative Principal of the Year, “Prize Principal” by Point Loma Nazarene University, two California Distinguished School Awards, which earned her the ultimate title of Principal of the Year for Southern California, San Diego and Imperial Valley.She returned to the district after retiring to work as a college and career consultant with Oceanside and the County of San Diego. She helped develop Career Technical Education (CTE) Pathways that would connect with local industries.

Long before trends and technology entered the educational space, she incorporated support programs that are vastly used today in education. Her passion to prepare children for a future that many do not see ahead is evident throughout this book.

She is the proud mother of two beautiful sons and now six beautiful grandchildren.

In each country, she sets up chess clubs and teaches students about the nuisances of life and learning English through this ancient analytical game.
