"When brainstorming names for a fashion/lifestyle publication at UMD, ‘monumental’ was one that kept coming to mind, given our proximity to Washington DC and all of its significant sights."

​

"I wanted the name to have relevant meaning to our campus and to the publication, and I believe this term does. I believe the University of Maryland paves a path for its students, faculty and staff to do exceptionally great things."

​

"My vision for this publication is to share those unique things, specifically in terms of fashion, beauty, lifestyle and entertainment, and also be a source of news in these areas."
