Making the World a Better Place, One Story at a Time
Monica got her start in Washington, DC where she worked at the U.S. Department of State and as a political activist for various nonprofits and think tanks. But, her dreams of changing the world through rational argumentation and politically motivated blog posts proved futile. Always the optimist, she changed course and began using story as a medium to explore life’s big questions. Her passion for visually arresting narratives and character-driven stories led her to Los Angeles, where she works as a writer for film and television.
