2025 40 Under 40: Tina Pham-Morgan

Tina Pham-Morgan’s career transitioned in late 2024, when she became director of operations at the Alliance for Healthcare Education after nearly seven years at the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools.

Pham-Morgan, 30, was the alliance’s second hire after Executive Director Shallina Goodnight. Pham-Morgan says she’s leaning on her previous experiences in the nonprofit education world in her new position to “foster collaboration between institutions to address regional health care workforce shortages.”

Pham-Morgan says, “Through strategic partnerships, stakeholder engagement and project management, I lead efforts to streamline education pathways and create sustainable solutions to critical community challenges.”

Pham-Morgan’s civic work has included The Network Leadership Council, the Association of Fundraising Professionals’ local chapter and Sunrise Rotary.
