Monica recently made the move from inside Customer Service to Outside Sales Rep. She brings grace from her modeling days and a marketing degree to her job and is looking forward to being able to get out and visit Litin customers. Monica likes that Litin is such a nice, small, family owned company that cares about each employee and she thinks it shows in how all the employees at Litin are happy.

She works out 4-5 times a week and for the past 3 years has been involved in the YMCA triathlon. Her favorite sports are hockey, golf, and football; especially Green Bay Packers games. On the private side; she can't wait for another Walt Disney World Orlando getaway with her daughter, Melanie.

Monica is a supporter of Easter Seals, Breast Cancer 3 day, St. Jude's Partner in Hope and the March of Dimes. And in her heart wishes she could prevent birth defects and invent a cure for all babies to be born with a healthy start. If Monica could change the world, she'd make sure that all rules and laws would apply to everyone equally, with no preferential treatment of anyone due to their financial status.

Monica believes there will always be peaks and valleys in life--even horrific events make us stronger in the end. She thinks that the stars are the limits if you believe in yourself and that we should all make every minute count. Her personal work philosophy is that you get out of life what you put in it. The harder you work today ... the more you achieve tomorrow.
