Amelia was born in Michigan, where she spent 11 years before moving across the country to Silicon Valley, California. Her love for journalism and economics was sparked during this transition. She was immersed into different cultures, the world of business and found a drive for storytelling. Monroe moved to Phoenix, Arizona where she attends the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism. She aspires to channel her love for reading between the lines and relaying information into a career in reporting. She hopes to eventually make her way over to the East Coast to report on business or politics. 

Since Monroe started her journey at Arizona State she has dabbled in freelance work, writing for papers like the Glendale Star and Palo Alto Weekly. Most recently, Monroe spent her semester in Washington D.C. working as a Congressional Reporter for Arizona's only DC outlet - Cronkite News. She navigated the busy DC lifestyle all while reporting on the Hill, covering the election and uncovering sustainability issues back in Arizona.

In Spring 2025 Monroe will be interning at MadridMedia as a social media specialist. She will write, edit, proofread and create marketing materials - such as videos and press releases - for a variety of businesses across the Arizona valley.

She hopes to eventually get an internship in business, economics or politics reporting. She is currently on the hunt for Summer 2025 internships.
