Ms. Monem began her career working at the Lake Grove Residential School where she mentored and counseled emotionally challenged youth to become positive influences in their communities. She then joined the Boys and Girls Club where she spent 15 years, seven of those years serving as Executive Director, specializing in programs and activities for youth ages 5-18.

Always with the heart to serve, in 2006, Ms. Monem embraced the opportunity to work at Dominican Village, where she is the Director of Community Relations and Development. Dominican Village is a sponsored ministry of the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville, New York, a not-for-profit, non-sectarian organization offering independent and an award-winning assisted living residence.

With over two decades in the not-for-profit industry, Ms. Monem diligently seeks ways to provide for the special needs of the residents by securing grants on the federal, state, and county levels, as well as through private foundations. She is mission-driven, compassionate and has dedicated herself to helping others.
