In 2015, during her senior year of high school, Monteiro began her modeling career. Upon graduation, she moved to New York City and signed with major modeling agencies, including Wilhelmina Models and Next Model Management, as well as agencies in Europe (London, Denmark, Germany). Over time, in the 2020s, she became ranked in the Top 50 Social on Models.com (peaking at #41). She is also included in Models.com’s rankings of the Top 100 Black female models, alongside models such as Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks.[1][2][3]
Monteiro has appeared on over thirty covers and editorials in fashion magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Marie Claire, L’Officiel, Numéro, Glamour, and Grazia. She has worked with top beauty brands including CoverGirl, Clinique, L’Oréal Paris, MAC Cosmetics, Revlon, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, bareMinerals, and NARS. Her print advertisement campaigns for global brands such as Nike, Reebok, Under Armour, Footlocker, Gap, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Macy’s, Puma, Target, and Fila have been featured across thousands of stores worldwide and on billboards in Times Square, New York City. Monteiro has walked in fashion shows for designers like Rebecca Minkoff, Diane von Furstenberg, and Vivienne Hu at New York Fashion Week and Miami Swim Week.[1][7][8][5]

After relocating to New York City, Monteiro studied acting at institutions such as the Stella Adler Studio and New York Film Academy. Her filmography includes appearances in Someone Great (Netflix), Second Act, and Disney’s Hocus Pocus 2, which won three Emmy Awards. In Hocus Pocus 2 (2022), she appeared as an extra in a Newport festival scene, wearing a costume inspired by her mother’s vintage Halloween outfit.[4][2][3][7]

Monteiro released her debut single "High" in June 2021. She wrote the song herself, and it was recorded in a New York studio.[1][6]

The track appeared on global Spotify playlists in Europe, Germany, France, Singapore, Mexico, and the U.S., with some playlists exceeding 100 million streams. It charted on the Billboard charts, ranking among the top.
In March 2024, she released the R&B breakup-themed single "Miss No More", which she wrote herself.[7][9]
