For 2018, it was announced that Monk would compete in the 2018 Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America – LB Cup driving for Wayne Taylor Racing.[4] She would finish 4th that season with one win, two poles, and seven podiums.

Michelin Pilot Challenge

In 2020, Monk announced that she would be moving to the 2020 Michelin Pilot Challenge driving the No. 3 McLaren 570S GT4 for Motorsport in Action.[5] She would partner with Corey Lewis for that season. Monk would get her first win at Road America.[6] She and Lewis would finish the season 9th in the standings.

Monk would return to the series for the 2021 season driving the No. 3 McLaren 570S GT4, with Spencer Pigot as her teammate.[7] She and Pigot would finish 6th in the championship that season with only one podium from Watkins Glen.

For 2022, Monk would return to the series for the 2022 season.[8] She would now drive for the newly-rebranded TGR Infinity Autosport and partner up with Kyle Marcelli driving the No. 3 Toyota GR Supra GT4.
