Education and acting career

She graduated cum laude from Harvard University in 1993 and is a U.S. Fulbright scholar. After graduation, she worked as an investment-banking analyst for Morgan Stanley for a few years.

Montano has taken on a variety of different roles, both live-action and voice-over. She is talented in using many different accents, including Chinese, Filipino, British, Southern, Thai, Vietnamese, Eastern European, and Japanese.
Her first legitimate role was playing the nurse Duvata Mahal for three seasons of the TV show ER.
