Oonagh Morgan grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, a period of sectarian conflict that ended with the Good Friday agreement in 1998.

She is a graduate of Brunel University, London and the Irish Academy of Public Relations, Dublin. She began her career in Dublin at a global PR agency where she worked with a variety of clients from scrappy startups to international tech giants.

Like many Irish immigrants, her ambitions led her to develop her career in the U.S. - a journey that brought her from her native Co. Down in Ireland to the west coast of America where she has been a resident since 2002. Her international career includes roles in Dublin, San Francisco, Portland, and L.A.

In addition to now running her own Portland-based PR agency, Morgan Communications, Oonagh is a board member with Irish Network Portland, an organization that promotes business, social, and cultural links between Oregon and Ireland.

She maintains close ties with Ireland and travels back every summer with her son, Lochlan.
