The group will lead LOVB Austin’s commercial, marketing, event and community operations in the Austin market.

The 2026-27 season is scheduled to begin in December 2026.

She joins LOVB Austin from Meta, where she spent seven years supporting policy and election-related initiatives and advising senior leadership. Before joining Meta, Morrison worked as a legislative aide in the United States Senate.
Morrison is a UT McCombs alumna and former Harvard women’s track and field athlete. She serves on the City of Austin’s Environmental Commission and has lived in Austin since 2019. “Austin is one of the most dynamic and exciting sports markets in the country and I see tremendous opportunity for this city to embrace a professional women’s volleyball team,” Morrison said.
