My time in the Dominican Republic

Hello! My name is Hannah Montgomery. I am a 35 year old student at Arizona State University finishing my first Bachelor's Degree in Global Studies, minoring in History. 

​

As part of my degree requirements, I embarked on a transformative global experience in the Dominican Republic. Collaborating alongside a non-profit organization, I delved into the heart of community development initiatives while immersing myself in the local culture and customs. Dominican Republic afforded me the opportunity to learn about the ethos and mission of the Peace Corps through hands-on engagement and mentorship from seasoned professionals.

​

I was never expecting to go back to school at my age and financially I was never in the right place. I've held a career, but there was always something missing. I wanted to go back to school. So in 2020...on a whim, I applied for Arizona State's online program. What a learning experience it has been. I am so happy that I challenged myself to go back to school and if I hadn't, this life changing experience abroad in the Dominican would not have been possible. I am eternally grateful.
