Recognizing the importance of applying theory to practice, Monica has worked as a consultant for the Toronto Region and Conservation Authority and Environment Canada. She is a staunch advocate of open science and has delivered workshops on practicing in the open in Montreal and Toronto. Monica is also an improvisor performing with the Making Box Brigade in Guelph and teaches workshops on how improv can improv science communication.
