Early life and education
Shah's hometown is Tampa, Florida. She grew up with a love for dance and Indian culture. Shah participated in traditional Garba competitions every year since the age of 6. Shah attended elementary and middle school at Corebett Prep in Tampa. Thereafter, she went on to graduate high school as Valedictorian. Shah then received a full ride to attend the University of South Florida Honors College. Monica knew she wanted to have an impact on her community, though what form that would take was not ultimately decided until attending college. During the summer, Shah organized a mission trip to Honduras to provide medical service to different villages. It was on that trip that Shah realized she wanted to have a direct impact in bettering people's lives. She graduated with honors from the University of South Florida with a master's degree in Biomedical Sciences and a double minor in Communications and Public Health. She then attended Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine for graduate school. During medical school, Shah was inspired to step outside of her comfort zone and participate in a beauty pageant. She went on to win the crown of Miss India Florida in 2014 and competed at the national stage for Miss India USA in New York. There, Shah placed as 1st runner up and won the award for best talent.[2] Since then, Shah has expanded her modeling career and managed to also complete her training in Internal Medicine from Largo Medical Center. However, that was not enough for Shah. Monica went on to sub-specialize in Rheumatology. She will be completing her fellowship training in June 2021.
