Early life
Born the youngest child of Minnie and Tony Beets, Monica along with her two older brothers Kevin and Mike, and only sister Bianca, began working on her father’s mining exploration at the age of twelve. By the age of 16, Monica was already driving heavy machinery and familiar with the family business. It is known that Monica learned to drive at the age of eight.
In 2017, Monsters and Critics asked her if she had ever considered choosing a career path other than mining, to which Monica replied, “I never had a choice.
Neither I nor my brothers nor my sister were. As soon as we were old enough to reach the pedals, we were on a machine”.
There is no information on Monica’s education, although she has taken various Emergency Medical Responder (EMR) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) courses as she wants to become a paramedic in the future. .
Career
Gold Rush
Monica Beets first appeared on the Discovery Channel’s “Gold Rush” reality series in its second season, when her father Tony joined the show with his mining crew. Monica’s family soon became known as Team Beets, located in Canada where they held mining operations in various locations across the country.

Monica is an expert operator of a variety of machinery, such as loaders and graders. When asked what her favorite piece of work equipment was, she said, “I’m most comfortable on a 988 loader. That’s what I ran for the first four years I worked. for my father.
I’m just super comfortable in it. It’s funny. But as far as what we normally do now, I really like operating the excavator, loading trucks. I don’t like the plant – it’s the worst job in the world, feeding the plant.
Her competitiveness developed a rivalry between her and her brother Kevin. However, she maintains a friendly relationship with him: “I am close to my two brothers. And at work, we bother each other. The way we show affection is that we lash out at each other. We’re almost like bullies, but that’s how we show love.
Monica also opened up about her experience working in a predominantly male-dominated environment, citing her mother Minnie as an inspiration to deal with it: “Mom is a great role model.
She doesn’t take shit from anyone, which is great. Especially in a truly male workforce, you have to have that attitude. You can’t let shit get under your skin. You have to be strong, roll with the punches and know that even if it’s crap, you still have to prove yourself because you’re a woman in the workplace.
She also wants to encourage young girls interested in gold mining to pursue their dreams: “Don’t take no for an answer and go for it. If that’s what you want to do, go for it. And don’t let what other people think of you get you down. Because it’s not what they think that matters, it’s what you think.

Parker Schnabel, who reportedly had a crush on Monica in the second season of ‘Gold Rush’, joked on Facebook that he didn’t get an invite to her wedding. To this, Monica replied, “I said come to the reception and the party, but the ceremony was for close friends and family only. We already had our own film crew, we didn’t need to have double that!’.
Monica said she doesn’t watch the show because she spends seven months a year working in mining and doesn’t want to watch that kind of content on her vacation.
When asked what she does in her free time, she replied, “I walk the dog and I like to travel a lot. I do cross stitch and native beadwork and stuff like that, crafty stuff. And do as little as possible.

It has been speculated that her father had a progressive way of thinking, as he didn’t mind his daughter working in a mine – which is often seen as a male-only work environment. Monica clarified the matter in an interview, saying that her dad was both open-minded about some things, but old-fashioned about others: “Dad is both.” He doesn’t care what your gender is, if you sit on equipment girls can do it as well as men, sometimes even better. But if it’s heavy lifting, shoveling or working, it doesn’t matter if you have five daughters, the only guy will be taken for it because “it’s not a girl’s job”. If something needs to be cleaned up, that’s apparently what we’re good for. He is both.
