Early life and education 
Monberg is a third generation Filipino American and identifies as a Pinay. She grew up in and attended high school in Chicago. Monberg earned a BA in Economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She received a MS and a PhD in Rhetoric from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Community involvement and research 
Monberg an active member and leader in Asian American community groups. She was a Board Member of the Mid-Michigan Asian Pacific American Association (MAPAA). She is also involved with Asian/American communities at Michigan State University and in communities surrounding Lansing, Michigan. She is also an active member of the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS). Monberg's essay, "Like the Molave: Listening for Constellations of Community through “Growing Up Brown” Stories," analyzes oral stories collected by FANHS. This article examines how Filipinx stories work not only recover the past, but also to connect and bridge generations of Filipino Americans who have suffered from prejudices and American colonization of the Philippines throughout the early 20th Century. Monberg's research focuses on community engagement, memory, and Asian American rhetoric. She is particularly interested in Filipinx rhetoric. According to "Resituating Reciprocity within Longer Legacies of Colonization: A Conversation," her research seeks to investigate "on-going histories of Filipinx/American colonization and resistance, to untangle legacies of intergenerational trauma and wisdom, and to gather methods for building healing centered community-based spaces." Monberg is also interested in transnational Asian American rhetorical traditions and memory as part of Asian American activism. Selected publications
