A survivor of child abuse, Monique has expressed much of her pain and the journey towards hope in her music.

Monique has written songs which grapple with the existence of a good God in the midst of the suffering of the world around her and in her own life. Inspired by the life and writings of German theologian and martyr, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, she has come to believe that in the face of a suffering world, 'only the suffering God can help.'

Monique has been writing music for more than half of her life and has produced several collections of songs in written and recorded form. Her church congregational music is used in Australia and internationally in churches, tertiary Christian organisations and para-church groups.

She has also spoken widely in many contexts, including on national radio, at public forums, in churches, and at theological colleges and schools. Monique has led training days and workshops around Australia for leaders across various Christian denominations, as well as in some secular organisations. She has written widely on these topics in various journals and books.
