Monique is currently in a full-time engineering development rotational program at Intuitive Surgical, a company committed to advancing minimally invasive care.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from the University of North Carolina at Chapel-Hill and North Carolina State University and Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. During her undergraduate studies, Monique specialized research in orthopedic biomechanics and ergonomic association between surgeon characteristics and laparoscopic device strain. She also continued to obtain industry experience by serving in various engineering internship roles at Johnson & Johnson, Edwards Lifesciences, and Esurgi.

Upon completing her bachelor's degree, Monique established an interest in entrepreneurship and product development. In 2021, she represented North Carolina State University as spokesperson, which led to her senior design team winning first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference InVenture Prize Competition. Her passion for research and growing interest in the surgical robotics field led to acquiring a master's degree with a thesis topic of developing a novel electromechanical robotic power transmission for advanced colonoscopy procedures in 2023.

In her current role, Monique utilizes skills in mechanical design, programming, and data analytics. Outside of work, Monique is passionate about mentorship and outreach. She remains an active professional member of the National Society of Black Engineers and Society of Women Engineers.
