Monika Khatai is an entertainment journalist at Netflix Junkie. She completed her Computer Science degree in 2024 and spent a year working in digital marketing, but deep down, she never truly felt like she fit in. Just like Maddy Perez, she knew who she was from a very young age, and that certainty led her to pursue a career in writing. The world of 2000s television, with its 45-minute episodes and unforgettable characters, had been her escape from reality since childhood, where she nurtured her creativity. From the Avengers and the Winchesters to Lana Del Rey and Dead Poets Society, those stories shaped her love for writing and helped turn years of fangirling into a career.
