When Monica was 12 she went to an improv summer camp with her best friend and it was then she realized she wanted to act for the rest of her life.
Her first show came in the 9th grade when she played Rebebba Gibbs in "Our Town." Later, she got a part in the short film "To Live is to Die" and had a voice-over part in "Broken Tomorrow."
In 2005, Monica starred on Power Rangers S.P.D. She enjoyed playing 'Z' a lot and says the two are much alike. Since then she has had several various roles (mostly in films). Sheis close with 'SPD' Executive Producer Greg Aronowitz and has been in two of his films -- "Labou" and "The Suit" (in which she played the main character, Jun-Hee.
