I’m Monica, a Brazilian-American singer, actor, and educator. My favorite projects are musically, narratively dense works that live in the cracks of genre.
I have a Master's of Music from San Francisco Conservatory and I’ve had the privilege of performing with companies all across the Bay Area, working with Word for Word, Oakland Theater Project, Lamplighters Music Theater, Cinnabar, Berkeley Playhouse, and 42nd Street Moon. In 2025, I was nominated for a Bay Area Theater Critics Choice Award for my work as Pearl White in Ghost Quartet.
I’m committed to amplifying Latinx voices and sharing rich cultural experiences through the arts. I produced the Brazilian opera “Domitila” in 2021 and a concert titled "Saudade" in 2023.
My colleagues Ben Chau-Chiu and Megan Mateosky and I are producing the play Two Sister's and a Piano by Nilo Cruz as the group Teatro de las Tias.
We are excited to share this story with the Bay Area and have received Theater Bay Area Ca$h grant to help make it happen.
I enjoy working with aspiring artists and offer private voice lessons. All styles, all levels. Yes, everyone can and should sing! It feels good, it makes us human. Yes, that means you too! Book a lesson here.
I also teach voice at the community choir Music Education for Everyone. Come join our beautiful community!
When I’m not on stage or in the classroom, you might find me exploring the Bay Area on rollerblades, indulging in creative hobbies, or immersing myself in the world of art and literature. Or going on a little walk ;)
