Monica “Mona” Guziar was born in Romania, lived in England for two years, and came to the United States over fifteen years ago. In the United States, Mona lived in Florida, Texas and settled in Norman in 2013. As a Norman resident, Mona and her family have fallen in love with the amazing community, its caring people, and the lack of traffic.

Mona received her Juris Doctorate from the University of Oklahoma in 2017. While in law school, Mona was recognized for her academic accomplishments during law school by being listed on the Dean’s Honor Roll twice, but she is even more proud of the award won at the completion of the first year, the Outstanding 1-L Pro Bono Award.

During law school, Mona served as a Guardian Ad Litem in Deprived (DHS) cases through the OU Civil Clinic, volunteered with the Cleveland County DA’s office helping with the Deprived cases and was directly involved in courtroom proceedings. In the summer of 2015, Mona became a Certified Mediator through the Early Settlement Program sponsored by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. As a mediator, Mona has successfully mediated numerous small claims at the Cleveland County Courthouse.
