When not playing music or teaching, Monique enjoys working on her Maintosh computers.
Updating this web page, making digital videos, touching up scanned photos
or just basic desktop
publishing can keep her busy for hours. Which is what lead to the career change and coming to teach computers
at Madison Middle School. She has found that for her, "It has to be a Mac!!!"

of Poca High School class of 1982. She now resides in Madison with her two cats Spot and
Jellybean. She will finish her Masters in Digital Media Studies at WV State University in May 2006.
