Monica was born and raised in Wauseon, Ohio. She moved to Detroit, Michigan for her college education. While studying for her master’s degree in public administration at Wayne State University, Monica worked as an administrative intern at the City of Troy. Upon graduation, she took the position of Executive Director of the Downtown Development Authority in Imlay City, Michigan. After a couple years, she was asked to return by the City of Troy to fill the role of Assistant to the City Manager/Coordinator of Continuous Improvement. In this position, Monica worked to implement the right-sizing plan she produced as an intern. After moving back to Ohio, Monica served as City Manager of Napoleon, OH for three years, and City Manager of Painesville, OH for four years after that. Both Napoleon and Painesville are public power communities, so Monica comes to Westerville with seven years of experience in municipal electric systems. She also brings seven years of water, sewer, storm sewer, and Public Safety Director experience.
In May 2016, Monica was awarded the Early Career Leadership Award in Memory of William H. Hansell, Jr. from the International City/ County Manager Association. In August 2018, she was one of the community leaders chosen for the “Ones to Watch” in the Cleveland Magazine. In March 2019 Monica was awarded the Outstanding Leader in Revitalization from Heritage Ohio for work in historic preservation and its positive impact for Painesville. Monica is happily married to her best friend, Steven Dupee, who is the Village Manager in Wellington, Ohio. Monica has two wonderful step-daughters, Hanna and Jessica, and a baby boy, Noah. The family has a rescue puppy, Buster.
