Monica was the genesis of the engineering department at Coastal Life Technologies. Her top strengths are strategic planning, program management, value stream analysis, and continuous improvement. She led the continuous improvement projects through value stream mapping and was instrumental in successfully helping our company grow through her excellent project and program management. I highly recommend her for business and project planning needs.
David Wilson
Monica began working with us at Health by Design (HBD) in 2020 at a critical inflection point in our company's growth. She led HBD through several significant process engineering efforts yielding changes that enabled more efficient, higher quality services. Monica demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, organized work, gained the respect of our HBD team members. Monica is a five out of five stars professional!

I have worked closely with Monica on a variety of new and existing products/packages for many years. I have really appreciated how she grabs the issue, leads the way and stays on point until her team has it nailed. She is able to gather the resources to compliment her strong knowledge of the industry. From simple ideas to final validation efforts, Monica is one professional that is a pleasure to work with.
Scott Werstler
I have worked with Monica for over 7 years and she is very approachable and very helpful. She shows great leadership and is technically very sound. Monica does an excellent job in communicating and has helped us a variety of times with advice on validations, control plans, value stream mapping and other activities necessary for a successful product launch.
HungDa Wan, PhD
I have known Monica for over a decade, dating back to her graduate school career at UTSA, where she shined as one of our best students. Through her leadership and networking abilities Monica has helped develop and retain local technical talent coming out of UTSA's engineering programs. She has extended several internship and full time opportunities to our students. I highly recommend Monica as a consultant for continuous improvement, project management and coaching.
Teresa Evans, PhD

I am deeply impressed by her ability to coach her cross-functional team as well as identify the needs of of her organization in a way that has resulted in maximum productivity and success. Monica will bring a one-of-a-kind approach to identifying opportunities for growth in both efficiency and profitability.
Bill Rafferty
I first met Monica when she was with Coastal Life Technologies. Then later in her career, I quickly asked her to support TMAC. Specifically, she helped found the Medical Manufacturers Association of South Central Texas. This was at the height of the shortage of PPE and her efforts and connections helped fulfil many critical needs. I highly recommend Monica due to her professional leadership, process knowledge and just being a great collaborator.
Barbara Ward
I first meet Monica several years ago. I later had the opportunity to invite Monica to join me on a TMAC project in the DFW Metroplex. Monica was a great asset to the project, leading and supporting upgrades in procedures and processes for the clients' CAPA, RMA, and complaint handling processes and provided critical support for the company’s readiness for an FDA inspection. I look forward to working with her in the future.
Daniel Wadsworth
I worked closely with Monica as we transitioned our product sourcing and manufacturing. She has extremely proficient complex project management skill in context with the bigger picture. Her attention to detail and untiring work ethic raises both the quality and effort from everyone. It was clear that Monica is a natural leader and I would highly recommend her for high level strategic management responsibility, without hesitation.
Robert Rudko
I have worked with Monica for five years and found her to be an extremely competent manager and engineer. She worked with us to bring our product from an idea to a commercially viable medical product. She managed a group of engineers to get the project done in a timely fashion. She also understood what it takes to get a new product through the FDA regulatory process.
Chris Morgera
After many years with the same company that had a positive impact on my career development, a merger caused a reorganization. I reached out to Monica for some advice. After a phone conversation and a follow up in person meeting in which she asked me questions specific to my situation, I determined that I needed a new challenge and a fresh start. I strongly recommend Monica for coaching and leadership guidance!
Dave Mulera
Monica is a great leader and a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her without reservation. She led a large engineering team within our company that was known for their ability to get complex projects completed on time and under budget. Her skills in process improvement, project management along with her abilities to lead, mentor and coach in these areas would benefit any organization.
Rene Dominguez
Monica met with our team, developed a scope based on our vision. At the end of our engagement – we were not only happy with the product she created but point to her work as a pivotal game changer in our business model that generated growth. She executed perfectly and most important professionally. We would use Monica going forward…. and intend to!
