Born of Bundjalung ancestry, Monique advocates for community, and culture is at the heart of her work. She actively seeks opportunities to gather and celebrate local artists at all stages of their careers. Her portfolio includes projects with State Opera SA, Adelaide Festival, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, Country Arts SA, Co-Opera, Riverland Youth Theatre, Autism SA, and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
