Monica Malori is from Rome, Italy—the Eternal City. She has a multi-cultural background, with an Italian father and a Mexican mother. This exposure to two different cultures greatly contributed to her personal growth and fulfillment. She learned early on how to embrace diversity, and this has been key in enriching and shaping her life.

Prior to moving to Washington state in 2011, Monica worked as an executive secretary at la Repubblica, one of the leading daily newspapers in Italy, for 23 years, and worked in localization for five years here in the Pacific Northwest.

She is generous and empathetic by nature, with a true passion for all living beings (humans included!). She is always up for fighting for a good cause.
