Award Winners

Associate Executive Director Monica Hobbs embraces every possible opportunity to serve. A Million Dollar Club member and former Gratitude Ambassador, she’s both a hugely successful leader and an inspiring role model who consistently integrates her efforts to give back into her MONAT business.

Monica’s commitment to making a positive impact is contagious and inspires her MONAT family to join her efforts. Monica routinely partners with local leaders on campaigns such as the Demand Project, raising more than $70,000 for an anti-trafficking shelter in Oklahoma.

She serves as Board Vice President for the newly formed All Access Athletics, an organization dedicated to providing access to athletic programming to disadvantaged youth and founded by a fellow MONAT Market Partner. She also fundraises and donates items on behalf of a safe-housing organization for trafficked women called The Hope Center Indy.

Once a teen mom herself, Monica now mentors teen mothers, guiding them in a positive direction by providing support, resources, education, and basic life skills. Through her MONAT business, Monica motivates her team and customers to get involved and embrace the spirit of Gratitude in all they do.

Congratulations, Monica. We are proud of your success and inspired by your incredible example of Gratitude!

Senior Executive Director Isabel Sanchez’s story is one of strength, determination, and faith. Raised by a single mother on a modest income after moving to the USA from Cuba in 2001, Isabel developed a heart for helping others, which led her to complete her nursing degree. The desire to spend more time with her son, the pressure of living paycheck to paycheck, and the persistent feeling that something was missing led her to join MONAT.

Two years later, Isabel was a millionaire at twenty-five. Refusing to allow obstacles to stop her, she has achieved Million Dollar Club Membership, won the 2019 President’s Award, enjoyed traveling, and most significantly, built a community of likeminded people who love helping others. Isabel’s journey has been one of personal growth and discoveries along the way, and we know she’s only getting started.

The CEO award stands for performer of the year. It’s an award that Isabel’s biggest inspirations in the business have won, and it’s been a dream of hers to achieve. Today that dream became a reality!

Isabel’s story is a testimonial that when your heart is in the right place, nothing else matters. We congratulate Isabel and thank her for inspiring us all!

Market Mentor Charvel Edwards first discovered MONAT on Instagram and enrolled in November 2021 when MONAT launched in Australia, where she now resides. Originally from New Zealand, Charvel began working at the early age of twelve and has worked in the hair industry for more than thirteen years. Now a salon owner, Charvel has limited time to dedicate to MONAT, but that hasn’t stopped her from becoming MONAT Australia’s second Market Mentor!

By staying organized and focused, Charvel has continually grown her business, enabling her to help her family economically and help others achieve success. She is honored to win the President’s award and grateful for every person who has supported her journey.

Charvel is excited to continue this journey and impact other people with this opportunity, including people from Aotearoa!
