dunesARTS BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Monica Gauthier
Vice Chair
Monica is the owner and Managing Broker of North Star Properties which primarily serves the Lake Michigan beachfront, including Michigan City, Michiana Shores, and LaPorte and Porter counties.
She grew up in the suburbs of Detroit with her parents and 4 siblings. As a young adult she worked for her father’s construction company and the attention to detail the job required helped prepare her for her successful career in real estate.
In addition to traditional Real Estate, Monica has a robust Vacation Rental business with properties from Northwest Indiana to Southwest Michigan up to Sawyer helping to promote tourism in Northwest Indiana. Prior to getting into Real Estate full time, she spent many years working in the hospitality industry at high volume places on the Northside of Chicago.
Monica is full of enthusiasm for her area and community is extremely important to her. She loves to give back any way she can whether it's fundraising, volunteering or both! She helps with fundraising for her son’s school, donates unused perishables from her vacation rentals to local food pantries. She loves the arts, especially music. She is so excited to be apart of the Dunes Art Foundation and hoping her enthusiasm can bring more light and growth to such a wonderful program.
