Forging long-term client relationships is at the core of Monica's approach. No transaction is ever a one-and-done deal. Rather Monica focuses on earning her clients' trust, loyalty, and friendship. Monica's long-standing clients include residential buyers and sellers, investors, and builders, many of whom she has represented on multiple transactions. Monica attributes this to her stellar negotiation skills, integrity, and expert knowledge of the Houston market.

Monica graduated cum laude from Dedman College of Law (Southern Methodist University) where she was inducted into the Order of the Coif, named a Hutchison Fellow (full merit scholarship), and was an editor of the SMU Law Review. She received her BA magna cum laude in Chinese History and Political Science from Colorado College and studied Mandarin Chinese as a PICAS Fellow at the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor.



In her spare time, Monica likes spending time with her family and three fur babies. She enjoys Sudoku, Vinyasa Yoga, and attending performances of the Houston Grand Opera. Monica believes in serving her community and actively donates to Houston PetSet and various performing arts organizations.

When she isn't working hard for her client's, she enjoys scouting around on her bicycle through the Heights bike trails, getting caught up in a great book, swimming, or just relaxing on one of Galveston's quiet beaches soaking up the sun and salty air. She's a natural socialite and conversationalist and loves when people ask her what she does for a living. She thrives on showing her client's around Houston and offering her advice and opinion to the ones that have just recently relocated to the area from another city or country.
