After dancing for four years, Monroe's career hit a snag when the COVID pandemic forced clubs to shutter in March of 2020. She moved back to Tampa and reconnected with the owner of Grille 54, who was looking to capitalize on the cannabis craze by opening a business in Oklahoma. He offered Monroe a job in sales, and before long, she found herself living in Tulsa.
Day after day, Monroe would visit dispensaries and hawk edibles, flowers, and tinctures. The business boomed to the point that Monroe decided to become an investor.
Goodness knows, she certainly had the funds.
Along with the money she'd earned over the years as a dancer, Monroe began experiencing success as an OnlyFans creator during her free time in Oklahoma. Even though most of her content was limited to photos and solo shoots, Monroe watched her income elevate from $2,000 to $8,000 monthly while her Instagram following soared to 85,000.
Not bad for someone with zero mainstream exposure.
Still, after two years in Tulsa, Monroe knew it was time to take the next step.
So she reached out to Keiran Lee.

Moments before their shoot last August, Sinatra Monroe and Elizabeth Skylar were approached by a Brazzers executive as they sat in their makeup chairs.
"He was like, 'By the way, this is going to be an ad scene,'" Skylar said. "Sinatra and I looked at each other and went, 'Holy shit! This is a big deal.'"
Indeed, as if the anxiety surrounding the first scene of her career wasn't enough, Monroe now had the added pressure of knowing the footage would be pushed and advertised throughout all of Aylo's platforms and also on PornHub.
"She was nervous," Skylar says, "but once the cameras came on, she acclimated very quickly. She knew what she was doing. I was shocked it was her first scene because it felt very organic."
Viewers agreed, as "Wife and Stepdaughter Want Delivery Guy's Package" ranked as one of Brazzers' top ad scenes of 2023. The feedback had to have been satisfying for Lee, the producer who gave Monroe her big chance.
"As soon as the guys in the main office saw it, they were like, 'Let's get this girl in for a lot more scenes.'
"I've been with Brazzers for 18 years. I know the type of girl that the fans really appreciate, the Phoenix Marie's, the Nicolette Shea's. I looked at Sinatra and thought, 'She clicks every box that those girls click.'"
Monroe's appearance is certainly her calling card, and she takes pride in it, especially since it takes so much discipline to maintain.
Monroe has been a workout addict since she began dating a trainer at age 16. She goes to the gym five-to-six times a week, focusing less on cardio and more on lifting weights. Each session is devoted to a different muscle group, and Monroe designates two days a week to her lower body. It takes a lot of work, after all, to maintain that perfect butt.
Monroe drinks a gallon of water daily to help with her glow and complexion. A natural blonde, Monroe began dying her hair about two years ago, starting first as a brunette before dabbling in various shades of red.
"I definitely think being a redhead gives me a bit of an edge," she says. "I'm very happy with this shade. I don't see it changing anytime soon."
Lexis says Monroe's effort to maintain her appearance doesn't go unnoticed.
"Sinatra takes great care of her body and hair and skin," Lexis says. "She has a self-care routine that puts her ahead of a lot of other models. Considering we shoot such high-quality video, those things are important.
"When you couple her pretty hair with her complexion and her pretty (hazel) eyes, it's not something you run across every day. It makes her special."
Still, Lexis stresses that Monroe's impressive qualities extend far beyond her beauty.
"There's a presence about her that's very elegant," Lexis says. "You see it in the way she carries herself. Even though she's more on the sporty side, she has a vibe, an energy she gives off when she enters a room that makes her a star."
From the get-go, Monroe has also proven to be an elite performer, using eye contact and dirty talk to melt viewers and scene partners alike. Along with Ferrara, Monroe has already shot with high-profile stars such as Mick Blue, Ricky Johnson and Zac Wild. And she recently filmed an OnlyFans collab with iconic star Johnny Sins.
"I was like, 'Oh my God! Now I see what the (hype) is about,'" Monroe says of Sins. "He was so passionate, great eye contact … he really gives his all for a scene."
Lexis says Monroe's work has been well-received because it feels so genuine. Monroe makes it a point to develop chemistry with her co-star long before filming begins.
"She knows what it takes to make a good scene, which tells she's very intelligent," Lexis says. "She understands that chemistry is needed. When a talent puts in the effort to establish that connection, you can tell on camera. It makes for a better product."
Just one year into her career, Monroe realizes she's still a work in progress—and she's also still learning more about herself sexually.
Monroe has discovered how much she loves boy-girl-girl threesomes, adding that her Brazzers scene with Ricky Johnson and Scarlett Alexis is among the best of her young career. She's also developed a newfound fondness for rimming.
"Some guys are soooo into it and grateful for it," she says. "That's hot to me. It's the same thing as going down on a woman—if they get off, I'm happy. I'm a pleaser at heart."
Monroe says anal scenes are likely in her future, but she's certainly not in a rush. She's pleased with the pace of her career thus far and wants to continue the steady climb. Monroe still resides in Tampa but travels to Los Angeles monthly for shoots and usually stays for 7-10 days.
"It gives me a mental break," she says of her routine. "It allows me to be in my peace and my serenity in Florida. I'm not the type to say 'no' to work, so if I lived in LA, I know I'd get burned out."
That's the last thing Brazzers would want to happen.
Lee suggested Monroe has the potential to become a contract star. And Lexis said the popularity of her scenes continues to soar.
"We do a lot of research," Lexis says. "Our members love her and, and our team thinks she has a bright future. We're going to keep on shooting her and shooting her. What you've seen is only the beginning."
