A Modern Looking Glass: Monica Flores

Introducing Monica Flores, self-taught Web Developer, Mother, and Female Founder!

What makes you feel beautiful?

“Every day, I know I do my best with the unique talents and skills I have. It makes me feel beautiful to know that I create a positive difference and build a better world for the next generation. My children, who inspire me and give me hope for the future, as well as my colleagues and community, continually appreciate my efforts and that makes me feel beautiful."

What accomplishments are you most proud of?

"I am a self-taught web developer. I am proud that I have been able to take these skills to support a socially just, environmentally sustainable, equitable society. Since 2004, I have led the redesign and refactoring of 240+ U.S.-based and global organizations. Some of those being Ashoka Changemakers and the U.S. Department of State’s Global Initiative for Science and Technology Network.”

“I currently work for and am an elected board member of Green America, a member at The Wing, chief editor at FemaleFounders.Network, and a council member for The Nook online. I am also an incredibly proud recipient of the 2018 and 2019 NTENny award. The ability to speak at conferences and hold panels on leadership, technology, and entrepreneurship is also a point of pride for me.”
