Mónica was born and raised in Mexico City, where she studied Veterinary Medicine and Zootechnics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). As a student, she enjoyed rescuing and rehabilitating stray dogs and cats, leading her toward a career in shelter medicine. During her time at UNAM she worked at the university's mobile unit for reproductive control of dogs and cats, and she volunteered at a dog rescue sanctuary. After graduation, she came to the US to do a shelter medicine internship at the University of Illinois. She then moved to the beautiful central coast and worked at Santa Barbara Humane before joining the SPCA.

In her free time, she enjoys volunteering at wildlife sanctuaries, traveling, and spending time at the beach. She lives in Pacific Grove with her two cats Mayuyo and Simba; both found roaming the streets of Mexico as kittens.
