Making connections in her community is one of Montse's favorite aspects of being a journalist, and it can be seen in her work. She's spoken at dozens of community events and has plenty more already scheduled out.

Montse has received Emmys recognizing her work in journalism, one of which was from 2023 on Telemundo Wisconsin's Hispanic Heritage Month Stories, as well as another for her reporting back in the Quad Cities. Ricossa has also been honored with Second place for Best Online Personality from the Wisconsin Broadcaster's Association in 2023.

She is a native of Mexico City, Mexico, and earned her bachelor's degree in Journalism and Spanish from Augustana College.

With family in the Chicago suburbs, Montse gets to travel home often. In her free time, Montse likes to read, run, tend to her plants, and get to know the community.
