FIVE QUESTIONS WITH MONICA:

What is your favorite St. Louis activity?
I thoroughly enjoy the arts in St. Louis whether that be attending amazing shows at the Fox or the Muny while enjoying the fabulous culinary magic that is done in the kitchens of our one of many St Louis restaurants. Among my favorites are Prime 1000, J. Gilbert’s, Cielo, Copia, Pi and Pueblo Solis

What would you do if you weren’t in radio?
This is the question I enjoy the most. I work three jobs right now, Fox 2, Personal training and being a fitness consultant to many through Red Fitness Lounge and my health show on KMOX so I live many of my dreams. I would love to clone myself though so I could also be a singer, actor, dancer, orthopedic surgeon, pilot and T.V. Talk show host doing a Wellness Show. I aspire to do a lot in this blessed live I lead.

Do you have any pets?
I have three dogs. Two Shiba Inus (which are little Japanese Hunting dogs that look like baby foxes). My oldest is Kyra who is 11, Nikko who is 10 and a lab/hound mix that is named Kailei. She just turned 5.

Share one random fact.
It is my goal to make a difference every day of my life. I wake up with purpose and head out the door with a focus of making one person’s life better each day. If I change multiple lives that is just a bonus!

If you could live anywhere else in the country, where would it be?
If I lived in this country it would be San Diego and in another country, Australia.
