Hi everyone, I am Monica, and I am honored to serve as your Military Community Advocate (MCA) here at ßÏÀÖÔ°.

Coming from a background as a Military Kid, Prior Military Spouse, and a former Civilian Employee working alongside the 100CPTS/WSA at RAF Mildenhall, I know firsthand that the transition from 'boots to business' isn't always a straight line. With over 10 years of higher education experience and lifelong engagement within the military culture, I understand the unique language of service and the challenge of translating that experience into a civilian setting. What I care most about is to ensure that no one in our military community feels like they’re navigating their career solo. The transition is already isolating as is; there is no reason to complicate that experience.

My Mission as Your MCA:

  • Structured Mentorship and Guidance
  • Skill Translation Towards Career Readiness
  • Community Visibility 

Whether you’re looking for career advice, need help navigating your benefits, or just want to grab a coffee with someone who 'gets it,' my door is always open. Let’s work together to make ßÏÀÖÔ° the gold standard for veteran excellence.
