I am Monica and my background is within technology and leadership. I should have my master's degree completed by the end of this Summer. I actually started my education with exercise science (health and wellness are a priority for me), but with the jobs I had at the time I was forced with a tough decision to change my major. I was Miss Fit ISU in 2013 and I placed 3rd in 2018. I have experience with financial aid (I secretly love numbers) and also with admissions. I have been an academic advisor for going on three (3) years now and I am excited to begin my new adventure with each of you!
