10 Within 10 Recognition

As an MLB live content creator and NHL live social contributor based in Detroit, Monica photographs the Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings and their opponents. In addition to her work, she’s gained a huge social media audience where she shares videos highlighting her on-the-job adventures. She has more than 100,000 followers on Instagram and more than 700,000 followers on TikTok. 

While earning her bachelor’s degree in photojournalism, Monica studied many styles of photography working for CM Life, CMU Communications and during a summer internship in Alaska. But it was while working for CMU Athletics that she determined sports photography was the path she wanted to pursue.

After spending a season as an intern for the Arizona Diamondbacks, she was recommended to the MLB; 2024 marks her fifth year with the league, and she just completed her third season with the NHL.

Through her career, she has captured many historical moments including Miguel Cabrera’s final season with the Detroit Tigers, the 2023 World Series between the Texas Rangers and the Arizona Diamondbacks, and she has traveled to 10 of the 30 Major League ballparks. 

She continues to showcase the education she received from CMU’s photojournalism program through her social media platforms. It is her hope to inspire the next generation of female sports photographers.
