Hey guys, I’m Monica and by the pictures I posted I think you guys can assume that I love skateboarding.
I’ve been skating since sophomore year, but started skating more transition (ramps and stuff) recently. The first 6 pictures I posted are from Woodward Camp, which I went to for 3 weeks this summer. Woodward is skate camp, and it’s awesome. The first 2 pictures are from me and my cabin woke up at 5:30 AM so that we could take pictures in front of the sunrise. We were all exhausted but it was definitely worth it.
The 3rd picture is really important to me because it was from the day that I got to meet 2 pros at camp, Manny Santiago and Dave Bachinsky. Getting to do a professional photoshoot with Dave Bachinsky was like a dream come true, the best part about it was the next day when I was hanging out with all my camp friends at the coffee shop, he came up to me and high fived me.
The last 2 pictures were taken by my friend Connor, who I met when I first started skating 3 years ago. He completely wrecked his ankle skating, and as it turns out he’s a great photographer.
I don’t really do much other than skate, but I do love reading and adventuring (which sounds really cliche, but whatever).

I snowboard and I am always scared of falling which makes me respect skaters so much because you would fall on hard ground instead of snow- so much more painful!
