She was very intelligent and lived almost part of her childhood around the lights and cameras. When she was only 9-years-old she shot her first TV commercial, so by the time she was 11-years-old she was now very famous due to a shampoo commercial. The biggest step of her life was when she was 13, when she hadn't finished the 8th Grade, she was hired as an exclusive model for Yanbal Cosmetics. With that job, she met who would be her partner and friend for 8 years, Almendra Gomelsky. Around the year of 1990, Panamericana Televisión was casting a marathonical children show, _"Nubeluz" (1990)-. Mónica opened the casting in which auditioned almost 500 girls, including Almendra. Also, she was the first to be selected for the show.
She began to suffer from depression and around March of 1993 she quit "Nubeluz" and lived for a while in Washington, DC with her last boyfriend but was feeling more alone than ever. Around May of 1993, she returned to the show but by March 1994, Mónica was living her last days. A row with her boyfriend, Tino, led to her threatening him with his own gun.
