Hi Everyone! I am a Senior Licensing Manager at the Technology and Innovation Development Office (TIDO) of Boston Children’s Hospital. I am responsible for the management of the intellectual property and commercialization of technologies arising from various departments including cardiology, the innovation and digital health accelerator (IDHA), gastroenterology, computerized health informatics, and radiology, as well as collaborative research and sponsored research agreements. Prior to joining TIDO, Monica worked for three years as a Licensing Associate and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Liaison in the Life Science Group at the Technology Licensing Office at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT TLO), where she focused on licensing biotech inventions arising from the Media Lab, McGovern Institute, Koch institute, Center for Bits and Atoms, and Lincoln Labs. She has also worked as a Technical Assistant at Edwards Angell Palmer Dodge LLP in Boston, MA, a Clinical Research Coordinator at Broad Institute, Research Scientist at the Universite Catholique de Louvain under the direction of Dr. Desire Collen, and Teaching Assistant at MIT. Monica did her undergraduate work at MIT, majoring in Biology, concentrating in Ethics, from MIT. In her free time, she volunteers as a MIT Sandbox mentor, MIT Alumni Association mentor, Phillips Exeter Academy mentor, MIT Cambridge Enterprise Forum volunteer and an Association for Women in Science Massachusetts Chapter volunteer. She is also the president of the Licensing Executives Society, a Legal Writing Teaching Assistant and recipient of the Hologic and Merchant & Gould Scholar Award, Joyce Scholar Award, and Dean's Scholarship at UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law.
In both my current and previous positions, I have had the privilege of working for women leaders who not only led with sincere empathy but also a deep desire to help younger women grow by empowering them with new roles and responsibilities across the institution. By way of their mentorship, I have helped bring on more excellent women to the team, and am thrilled not only to see them grow but also to learn how I can be a better leader, mentor and colleague. They say if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. I've been privileged to count on many women who have helped me here, and I want to help other women as I continue to grow.
