Description
Hi! My name is Monica, I'm 24 years old and from New Jersey in the United States. I recently completed my Master's degree in Community Development & Planning, and am looking forward to experiencing new things, meeting new people, and visiting new places during this post-grad time. I love listening to music, swimming, knitting, roller skating, reading, and spending time outside (preferably by a body of water!). I wasn't able to study abroad while I was in college due to Covid, so I am very excited about opportunities through Workaway!
