Monica is the Operations Manager at Interplanetary Capital. She has previous experience in higher education, student organizing, and the nonprofit sector across various roles, including administrative, fundraising, and direct service. After years of on-the-ground work, notably coaching families in crisis via behavioral health services, she found herself working in committees developing agency-wide initiatives to support staff, organizational systems, and ultimately better client outcomes. This drove her to make an impact at an organizational level behind the scenes, building upon the variety of her earlier roles, to help run and optimize processes that support people and companies doing the critical work in the foreground.
