Monica has been very fortunate in her personal and professional lives.  She has worked for great organizations that make positive differences in the lives of others. Her goal and mission in life has always been to help others succeed.​  Through SK Consulting, Monica is able to do what she loves - and she loves what she does.  She’s honored to serve businesses that help people get and stay healthy. She is touched by the mission of the non-profit organizations I help. She is inspired by the small business owners, the entrepreneurs who help sustain our local economy.  She understands the struggle of working within a limited budget and wants to help their partners maximize their business potential while minimizing their expenditures. As wife and a mom to an nine-year old boy and three four-legged kiddos, she appreciates the value of a dollar.  Knowing the difference between necessities and luxuries is vital.  Let's just say, the Dollar Store is her friend. Monica Stoneking received a B.S. in Communications/Journalism from Truman State University and earned a Master's degree in Public Administration from the University of Missouri - Columbia.
