Monica Tran is The Port Teen Center Support. She LOVES the color pink and listening to music, especially R&B 2000's (before the current teens were born), EDM, and pop as well as enjoys reading romance and self-hope books. One of her life goals is to beat EJ at any game because she is super competitive (EJ: "It will never happen.").
