Monica is passionate about investing in others and has been involved in leadership development for over twenty five years. While her ministry career began with a decade of serving with Athletes in Action, she then worked with LAUNCH, a youth and young adult leadership program of Youth Unlimited (YU) GTA for thirteen years.

She is now YU's Associate People Development Director. Having benefited from the Arrow Leadership Program (Emerging and Executive streams) and now her Doctorate of Ministry in Leadership with a personal focus on the resilience and spiritual health of leaders, Monica is keen to apply her learnings. Moving forward she will be teaching the "Formation of the Leader" course at Tyndale University, continuing her work with Arrow, and her main role of coming alongside developing leaders at YU and beyond.

In all, she hopes to spur on spiritual, character and leadership growth. She is married to Greg Kay, a CBOQ pastor in Toronto, and is a mom to two wonderful teenage daughters.
