Monica Elias is currently pursuing a dual major, a B.A. in multimedia journalism and a B.A. in translation at The Lebanese American University (LAU). Her other interests, aside from translating and writing, include cooking and baking. She has a passion for traveling and loves to learn and discover new things about different countries and cultures. Monica has visited six countries with her family, and hopes that she can travel the rest of the world. Wherever she goes, she wants to show people, contrary to what they may think, the beauty of Lebanon and the kindness of its people. She goes live on air on Radio Liban weekly and discusses different social issues. Upon graduation, she aspires to write for a non-political newspaper or work as a reporter. In addition, she wants to become a sworn-translator.
