The First Lady of the Dominican Republic was the director-founder of the Program for Human Development and Family Integration at the Central Bank since 2004. The program offered mental health and personal improvement programs to Central Bank staff and their relatives. To back her husband, she left the position to campaign for her husband. She reached out to attract the female voter through the movement, Women Growing with Danilo.
Montilla is a graduate in clinical psychology, specialty in family and sex therapy, from the Catholic University of Santo Domingo. She took courses in Human Development and Organizational Change Management at the INCAE Business School, in Alajuela, Costa Rica. And in Management of Human Resources at The Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research, in Pennsylvania, USA.
She has been married for 25 years to Danilo Medina and they have three daughters, Candy Sibeli, Vanessa Daniela and Ana Paula.

The Medina government has said it would restructure the present social welfare programs, including those carried out by the First Lady’s Office (DPD). News reports say that Montilla’s predecessor, today Vice President Margarita Cedeno, managed over RD$17 billion in programs under her office during her eight years in the position. Lalupa.com.do reports that in 2011, her office had a budget of RD$660,280,510, but benefited from additional funds donated by companies and generated by fund-raising activities.
Hoy recalls that the today First Lady has said that she would like the Office of the First Lady to be a liaison with government institutions that work directly for the welfare of the people. She would work for areas with high social impact, such as education, children, women and the aging.
