Her Mission
Where Medicine Meets the Ocean
Mónika joins My Clean Ocean to bridge the worlds of evidence-based medicine and ocean conservation — bringing clinical expertise, eco-conscious skincare, and a deep personal love of the sea to every program we run.

Chapter 01
The Clinician
Mónika brings over 13 years of experience as a nurse practitioner — first in high-stakes surgical settings, then in aesthetic medicine across Los Angeles, where she treated everyday patients and celebrity clientele alike. She holds a Doctorate in Nursing Practice, Board Certification as a Nurse Practitioner, and the distinguished Certified Aesthetic Nurse Specialist credential. Her clinical foundation is rigorous, evidence-based, and deeply human.

The Ocean Connection
For Mónika, the ocean is not just a place — it’s a philosophy. She understands that the health of our skin, our bodies, and our planet are inseparable. Marine ecosystems produce ingredients that power some of the most effective skincare formulations in the world. Ocean pollution directly degrades the natural compounds that coastal communities have relied on for generations. For her, protecting the ocean is not separate from her medical mission — it is an extension of it.

The Lifelong Learner
A self-described lifelong learner, Mónika regularly attends local and international medical trainings and conferences — from Seoul to Los Angeles — staying at the frontier of aesthetic medicine, skin health science, and sustainable wellness. She brings everything she learns directly back to her patients and to the communities My Clean Ocean serves.

At My Clean Ocean
As Director of Wellness & Eco Health, Mónika leads our integration of eco-conscious, ocean-safe health and skincare products into My Clean Ocean’s programs. She ensures that the products we use, recommend, and introduce to the youth we serve are not only clinically effective — but free from the harmful chemicals that end up in our oceans. She is also a key voice in our health and wellness education offerings, bringing medical credibility to our mission of whole-person, ocean-connected wellbeing.

Her relationship with the sea
The Ocean Has Always Called Her

Long before joining My Clean Ocean, Mónika was standing in the water. An avid traveler who has explored coastlines from South Korea to the Pacific Northwest, she has always felt the pull of the sea — the same pull that draws her to the science of skin, to the healing properties of marine compounds, and to the conviction that what is good for the ocean is good for us.

When she stands in the water, she is not just a nurse practitioner on a day off. She is a conservationist in the making — someone who understands, at a cellular level, why the ocean matters.

Role 01
Medical Director

Mónika brings 13 years of clinical expertise to My Clean Ocean — guiding our health and wellness programming with the same evidence-based rigor she applies in her practice.

Role 02
Eco Wellness Advocate

As a skin health specialist who deeply understands the marine origins of many powerful skincare ingredients, Mónika leads our transition to ocean-safe, reef-conscious products across all MCO programs.

Role 03
Community Educator

A natural teacher and lifelong learner, Mónika brings her clinical knowledge directly to the young people in our programs — teaching the connection between ocean health and human health.

“Skincare is a lifestyle. And for me, that lifestyle is inseparable from the ocean that gives us so much — including the ingredients that keep our skin alive. Protecting the sea is protecting ourselves.”
