Monica auditioned for acceptance into LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts at the age of thirteen. Although she chose the drama department as her preference, Monica was accepted in both the dramatic and the vocal arts departments. Soon after starting her classes at LaGuardia Monica played in her first role in a short film entitled Burning Love. She also went on to portray the character Bertha in a stage reading of Strinburg's The Father, with Al Pacino.

Monica has appreared in numerous television and movie projects inclding the TBS Superstation Original Movie First Daughter and Crime and Punishment in Suburbia which appeared in the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Also awaiting release are the independent movie The Simian Line with Harry Connick Jr. and Lynn Redgrave, and A Fate Totally Worse Than Death with Julie Benz, and Jonathan Brandis.

She's also no stranger to television having a recurring role as Abby Morgan on Dawson's Creek and a starring role on the short-lived Undeclared as the college co-ed Rachel.

Before taking a break for new movies and TV, Monica attended New York University as an English major. When she has a bit of extra time on her hands she likes to take writing classes and likes yoga. Monica also enjoys reading. She likes hanging out with friends and says: 'I don't do anything physical. I'm lazy.' However Monica does enjoy roller skating with friends at Roller Rinks.

Another thing Monica has said to have liked is the Wizard of Oz, especially Judy Garland, of whom she says: 'Judy Garland is my favorite. I probably know all her songs and have seen all her movies.'

Monica's most recent project is the much anticipated summer movie Freddy vs. Jason in which she has a starring role. Monica lives in New York while not working on film or movie roles." - Thanks to Monica-Keena.com
