Monique is an advocate for both human and animal rights. As an environmentalist, she adopted a vegan lifestyle in 2022. She graduated from UCSB in 2025 with a B.S. in Environmental Studies, which led to numerous fun and interesting projects, including a vegan documentary, a website built from scratch, and podcasts about environmental justice. In her free time, she assisted her fellow students in 2024 by documenting the protests and encampment by sharing them on TikTok, which garnered more volunteers, donations, and local awareness. Before her time at UCSB, she was part of the student government at her local community college in Los Angeles, which created its own campus leadership conference available for all students interested in becoming part of a campus organization.
