Before moving to the Virgin Islands, she worked in the Washington, D.C., area as a contractor with various federal agencies.

Montegut has also successfully led a grassroots group in preserving the rural heritage of her small town in Maryland. She holds a BA in Political Science and is an avid student of history. Effective Jan. 12, Montegut replaced long-time chair Felipe Ayala.
