Monica is the Umatilla County Special Library District Early Literacy Program Manager and develops and delivers early literacy programming and training to childcare sites, preschools, parents, and libraries throughout Umatilla County.  Since 2014, Monica has been the program director for Take Off! an early literacy outreach program which focuses on reaching families that cannot otherwise reach a public library due to transportation or conflicts with work. Monica has expanded this program to school fairs, back-to-school nights, and now more than 70 sites across the county.  She also serves as an encourager and support to library directors, skillfully developing and adapting early learning program services to model inclusive storytimes, hands-on STEAM materials and the building of library storytime kits. 
She led a Next Level Storytime workshop at the Oregon Library Association Conference in 2023 and helped librarians across the state add inclusive storytime elements to their programming. She is now the chair of the Children's Services Division for the Oregon Library Association.  
In 2023 Monica provided:
​

15,565 Books and 813 Storytime kits rotated to childcare sites
371 Storytimes provided to libraries and childcare centers
5,218 children and adults attended programs
1,190 Students enrolled in the Take Off! Program
