Monica and her husband, James, reside in Mesa, Arizona. They have five wonderful children including a transgender son and a gay daughter. Monica was introduced to North Star early on in their journey in 2018. The connections she has made with wonderful parents and others in the community has been life changing. Monica is passionate about ministering to other parents of transgender children in her local community. Her hope is that no parent will feel alone, no child will go unloved or unsupported, and that families will draw strength from the Savior and know that there is hope and peace on the horizon. Monica looks at her journey as an amazing, transformative, growth experience that has helped her become the person she is meant to be.
