Expertise

Classic rock, '80s music, '90s music

Monica has been the lead editor of Grunge since 2021.
She has been an avid listener of music since the early days of MTV — in fact, she's so old she remembers (vaguely) when MTV made its debut.
She started with pop tunes, but soon delved into punk rock and metal, and she still listens to her favorites from the '90s and '00s — especially Radiohead.

Experience

Monica, the senior lead editor at Grunge, began her writing career in 2000 when she created a website about baby sign language on the internet, one of the earliest sites to cover this topic at the time. The site caught the attention of a publisher, which led to her publishing her first book and starting a career as an online journalist. After writing at other Static brands for a few months, she was promoted to editor and eventually wormed her way over to Grunge, where her true passions lie — covering music from the '50s to the '90s.

Education

Monica graduated from Missouri Western State University with a bachelor's degree in English, with an emphasis on technical communication.
