Mary Lane Montoya is a dynamic digital marketing expert with a heartfelt commitment to supporting others. Her journey towards making a difference was sparked by personal challenges encountered during an overseas military relocation. Following a tumultuous period marked by the trials of a rough PCS move, unemployment hurdles, and childcare struggles, Mary recognized a common thread among military spouses facing similar obstacles associated with overseas living. Thus, she embarked on a mission to enact positive change, birthing The OCONUS Project to address the unique needs of military families like hers.

​

Transitioning into the role of a military spouse amid the complexities of the COVID-19 era, Mary's professional background spans diverse sectors, including sports marketing and higher education. However, it was within the military community that she discovered her true vocation and passion.

​

Residing in South Korea with her close-knit family, Mary embodies resilience, compassion, and an unwavering dedication to empowering others within the military community through her expertise and advocacy efforts.
