Monica was trained by Planned Parenthood to target teens for outreach and volunteered at several of their community events while working as a sexual health educator at ALLGO/Informe-SIDA. Later, she worked at The Center for Health Training as the Title X (family planning) Training Manager for Texas and New Mexico. Monica left The Center for Health Training because she realized they were not committed to giving women options but that their focus was abortion centered. She now runs It Takes A Family and uses her experience to encourage parents to “Reclaim Parenthood” and become their children’s greatest advocates and educators.
