Hi, I'm Monica! Welcome to my digital playground. I'm passionate about making contributing to open-source more approachable, creating technology to elevate people, and building community. You can find me building educational technology as a software engineer at Newsela, teaching web development on this site as well as on Egghead, contributing to open-source projects and tending to React Ladies, a community I founded for women and non-binary React developers.
