Meet Mary
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.
