Experience

Monica, the senior lead editor at Health Digest, got her writing career started in 2000 when she created what was probably, at the time, the only website about baby sign language on the internet. The site caught the attention of a publisher, so she wrote a book and got her first online writing gig. Everything else snowballed (in a good way) from there. After writing at other Static brands for a few months, she was promoted to editor and helped get Health Digest off the ground upon its launch. She maintains both news and features for Health Digest and is also the senior lead editor for Grunge.

Education

Monica graduated from Missouri Western State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, with an emphasis on technical communication. This educational track was packed with enough journalism and literature courses to give her a well-rounded appreciation of the English language and its history.
