Monica Ward is a second generation Master Matchmaker® like her brother, CEO of Master Matchmakers® Steven Ward.  She’s been immersed in the family business since its inception by her mother, JoAnn Ward.  Monica is most certainly her mother’s daughter when it comes to matchmaking having occasionally been on the receiving end of her brother’s and mother’s “Tough Love”.  The “no nonsense” Ward family culture has undoubtedly been passed on to Monica and much like her brother, it has made her mature and develop her own  interpersonal skills to be able to match our clients effectively.  Monica earned a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in psychology from Temple University and hopes to one day also be an authority on human behavior.
