Chalabi was born to Arabic-speaking immigrants and grew up in England.[1] She studied at the University of Edinburgh[2] and earned a master's degree in International Security from the Paris Institute of Political Studies in Paris, France.[3][4]

After working for FiveThirtyEight, the Bank of England, the Economist Intelligence Unit and the International Organization for Migration,[2] as of 2017 she works for The Guardian US.[5][6] She advocates the importance of data journalism in working to prevent politicians from making false claims.[7] Her written work covers many diverse interests, from racial dating preferences[8] to research on Wikipedia.[9] In an article for the New York Times she has argued for a more empirical approach to economics.[10] On 23 October 2015 she announced on her "Dear Mona" column that she was leaving FiveThirtyEight.[11]

In 2015 Chalabi presented a television documentary on racism in the United Kingdom for the BBC.[12] For National Public Radio she produces the Number of the Week.[13] Chalabi has made several appearances on Neil deGrasse Tyson's StarTalk.
