Monica relies on her built-in curiosity to find the offbeat and weird tips that are legitimately useful. She loves wading through forums to find diamond-in-the-rough Reddit insights and consumer hacks to save you real money on internet services. She’s a listener, a hunter of the nitty gritty, and a writer driven by an honest desire to connect with people. Fine print? Terms and conditions? Policy shenanigans? She’ll get to the bottom of them for you. Oh, and her internet puns are always intended.
Monica got her start in the worlds of finance and marketing before joining the Reviews.org team. In her tenure as a former financial marketing copywriter, Monica drove significant growth through high-converting ad campaigns, email series, and blog content. She also singlehandedly translated a whole e-commerce grocery delivery app from English to Spanish for a Bay Area company (she’s fluent in Spanish—her family has roots in Spain). Whether she’s writing about internet or financial products, she has a knack for boiling down topics (no matter how dry or complex) into their essentials, so people know exactly what they need to know.
An alum of the University of San Diego’s English and psychology departments (and former professional ballerina!), Monica spends the rest of her free time wrangling her three small and wonderful children with her husband. On the daily, you can catch her plotting the completion of her fantasy-thriller novel.
