Reason for joining the Board:
Coming from a family of 5 generations serving communities in Northern California, and as a native Chicoan – I see monca as a joyful celebration of our enduring regional heritage, in creativity and community through the arts. My intention is to apply my background to strengthen our underlying operational structures needed to sustain our Creatives as they offer their magic.
