Personal life

Monica was born in Daly City, California, the daughter and eldest child of Jim and Carol Bisordi. As a baby, Monica was diagnosed with nocturnal epilepsy. Her father, Jim, discovered that by keeping his firstborn active on a daily routine, the seizures could be controlled. So Monica never went on medication; instead she kept active with gymnastics.

Monica is the oldest of four children. Her oldest brother, Matt (32), was a diver for the University of Texas before transferring to the University of Arizona after his sophomore year, where he was also on the diving team. Her younger brother James was a collegiate basketball player and 6X national diver. Her sister, Jaclyn (27), is a point guard for Sonoma State University.

Monica attended Notre Dame High School, a private, All-Female, Catholic, college preparatory high school in Belmont, California.

Monica graduated from the University of Arizona with a major in communications and a minor in sociology.

Monica is currently a certified pilates instructor in San Mateo, California.

Early gymnastics history

Monica was a four-year member of the Airborne Gymnastics Club from 1998 - 2001. She was a level 10 competitor and a five-time national competitor.
