Monti is the Marketing and Communications Manager for the Rebus Foundation. In this role, she crafts promotional materials, implements social media campaigns, and nurtures partnerships to expand an open publishing ecosystem. Her work focuses on design and racial equity, which centers on community storytelling and intentional marketing for the digital community. Over the last few years, Monti has worked closely with community members in the nonprofit sector who were formerly incarcerated or deported and uplifted their personal stories and reflections. As the digital community grows and expands, it’s essential to support intentional visual storytelling, branding, and marketing for communities to begin healing and ensuring marginalized voices are leading the narratives. In her spare time, she enjoys walking in their neighborhood, cooking, doodling, and attending creative writing workshops.
