Monica Kaminski is a Dallas native. 

After graduating she started her career in marketing and business development with Fidelity National.  She started a non profit in 2010 for pediatric hydrocephalus and is very active with the pediatric epilepsy foundation as well. 

In 2014 Monica moved from Dallas to Bedford, Texas and opened a gym dedicated to Women's heart health.  In 2018 she was diagnosed with cancer, sold the gym and pursued a marketing career once again. She opened her own agency, Peanut Butter & Jelly Marketing and has several local and national clients. 

  Through her efforts for N.E.E.D. at her church, Peace Lutheran,  she met Del Meade, past N.E.E.D. president.  Del asked her to re-design the web site and the rest is history.  

For over 2 years she has sat on the board for N.E.E.D. and hopes to continue to help grow this faith based organization that is so close to her heart.  

Monica has one son, Austin.  He attends school at Bedford Junior High and will soon be at L.D. Bell High School.  She and her son reside in Bedford close to her parents Jim & Natlie Kaminski.  Jim, her father,  served over 40 years in the crime prevention unit for The Boy Scouts Of America and is now retired.

Monica isn't just a second row Lutheran, she is a cancer survivor! Hook Em' Horns!
