At the 2011 European Rowing Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, Monica raced in the Women's eight, finishing 4th.

At the 2011 GB Rowing Team Senior Trials held on 16-17 April at Eton/Dorney, Monica and crewmate Polly Swann were 5th in the women's pair.

In August 2010 Monica became the FISU World University Rowing Champion in the women's four, along with Emily Taylor, Leonora Kennedy and Zoe Lee.  The crew were first off the start and maintained their lead to win their gold medal by four seconds over Romania.   A month earlier Monica raced in the women's four at the 2010 World U23 Championships in Brest, Belarus, taking 4th place.

She began rowing at Rob Roy Boat Club under the guidance of Mary McLachlan and Adrian Cassidy and has been part of the GB Rowing Teams's Start programme, sponsored by Siemens, having been identified in 2005. 

In 2008 she represented GB at the FISU World University Rowing Championships in Belgrade, finishing in 4th place in the women's four.

Monica won a gold medal in the women's eight at the 2009 World U23 Championships in Racice.  This was a strong achievement by the crew who led from the first stroke.  Although the US closed a little in the dying strokes of the race, the result was never in doubt and GB had its first ever gold in this class - the outcome of a long term strategy to build this project.  She also raced at the Banyoles World Cup in the second GB women's pair finishing 5th and in the women's eight at the European Championships in Belarus.

Monica played netball and hockey while at school although she admits she does not come from a sporty background.  She would like to stay involved in sport by getting a job in it when she is older.   Her pastimes include films, music, cooking and spending time with family and friends.  She also enjoys riding her motorbike, a Suzuki, when she is at home.

Monica has recently graduated in Sports Science from Loughborough University.
