Recommendations:

“Rarely in my career in game development have I encountered a game developer with as much determination and drive as Monica Roque. Very quickly after joining our studio as a level designer, Monica became known for her dependability, fastidiousness and attention to detail. She cares deeply about everything she does, always gives the project her full attention and effort, is keen, bright and open to feedback where necessary. In short Monica is a fantastic level designer and a great addition to any team. She is also an extremely kind and generous person who is great at developing strong professional relationships with her coworkers, which is key in a complicated game dev environment.”

-Nitai Bessette, Game Director, Ubisoft Toronto
