Early Life:

Monica Beets was born on the 7th of November 1993 in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. Born and raised in Dawson, Monica spent much of her early life with her brothers. In total, the Beets family had five children, Bianca, Kevin, Michale, Jasmine, and Monica. But young Jasmine lost her life just after two months of being born. The siblings would often follow their father to the family mine. 

Monica grew up surrounded by gold and machines and developed a love for both from a very young age. She was a curious and adventurous child, who followed her father around the mine and learned how to operate heavy equipment. She also had a strong bond with her siblings, especially her sister Bianca, who shared her passion for mining. Monica attended school in Dawson City, where she excelled in math and science. She also enjoyed playing sports and hanging out with her friends. She dreamed of becoming a primary care paramedic someday, but she never lost her interest in mining. When she was 12 years old, her father gave her a challenge: he left her in a front-end loader and told her to figure it out by herself. Monica accepted the challenge and managed to move scoops of tailings all over the mine. She proved to her father that she had what it takes to be a miner. At the age of 13, she began involving in her dad’s mining operation and was working full-time by the age of 16. 

Professional Career:

Monica started her career as a miner at a young age, working under her father’s instruction and becoming the supervisor of a group of men at Paradise Hill when she was 18.  Her work made sure that Monica was often working with men twice her age. She often recalls the thrill of bossing men who had been working with the mine longer than her. 

They’d look at you and think, ‘What do you know, you’re just a girl?’ But the fact is, I did know a lot. And with Tony Beets to back me up, they knew they had to do as I said!.

Over the years, the crew came to respect Monica for her skills and would follow her instructions to the letter.
