She has 21 years of experience in the public education system, 5 as a classroom teacher and the remaining as an administrator at the middle school and high school levels. She and her husband have two children, one of whom has a congenital vision impairment. Monica works with ASK out of a desire to reach a wide base of parents, teachers, and administrators, and to provide support for all entities who serve children with special needs.

After many hours of fact-finding meetings and brainstorming, they came to the decision to form a non-profit resource center.The center was formally named Access for Special Kids Resource Center (ASK). ASK Resource Center would serve persons with special needs, their families, as well as the professional community. This commitment began to grow! The two parents recruited others, formed a board of directors and began to loan materials and answer the phones from their homes.
