2013 was a tough year for Monica Fossati. Incarcerated for 8 months due to a DUI, she lost her vehicle, her job, and her housing. Her parents took custody of her children while she served her sentence. After her release, she enrolled in Summit Academy OIC for Carpentry and dedicated herself to turning her life around. Due to Monica’s unstoppable disposition, she was able to bounce back from being incarcerated and then homeless to graduating with a 3.6 GPA.
