With her experience and connection with Central Georgia\u2019s Latinos, she became aware of the dearth of information available in in Spanish. <\/p>\n
This was especially evident in the midst of the political upheaval as a result of the 2015 and 2019 presidential elections as well as state elections and processes.

An accomplished and experienced journalism professional, M\u00f3nica serves as producer and reporter for the NotiVisi\u00f6n in addition to her duties as CEO. Through alliances and agreements with faith leaders and local organizations, M\u00f3nica has been able to bring initiatives and programs of benefit to Central Georgia\u2019s Latino community, including food distributions, vaccination days and COVID-19 testing, among others, allowing her to connect even more with her community. M\u00f3nica has also served as a member of the organization De Mujer a Mujer, whose purpose is to motivate and empower Latina women.<\/p>\n
