Mrs. Markell is a native of Newark, Delaware, where she and the future governor were high school classmates She graduated from the University of Delaware with a major in human resources and early childhood education. Mrs. Markell's professional life was spent primarily in the area of corporate training and human resources.

Prior to that, she worked for a chemical dependency treatment center as an executive in marketing, community relations, and employee awareness education. The first lady has served on the board of directors for Delaware Theatre Company (DTC), which honored her in 2007 with its Stephen Daniel Faulk Volunteer Award. More recently, she and Governor Markell co-chaired the Weekend of Volunteer Service, held in lieu of an inaugural ball.
