Hi! I’m Monique. I’m married to a commercial fisherman and we have two awesome kids that are also exploring careers in the fishing industry. My daughter has her commercial fishing license and goes lobster fishing, and my son is part of the student lobster program. We are part of the incredible fishing community in Harpswell, Maine. I am the Director of Community Programs for the Maine Coast Fishermen’s Association, and I have been working for the fishing industry since 2008. Prior to that I was a personal trainer at Women’s Fitness Studio in Brunswick, Maine.

You can learn more about some of what I do for the working waterfront in my role at MCFA HERE.

I am also a NASM certified personal trainer & nutrition coach, and I have been sober since January of 2018.

You can find more of my writing and videos featuring my family HERE.

Sustainability at Work video from the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative. My family and I believe it is crucial to advocate for the industry that our livelihood depends on, and that provides a connection to a broad community of other fishing families.
