She began her legal career in Chicago in 2014. She graduated from The John Marshall Law School (now University of Illinois Chicago School of Law) in 2017, obtaining her Juris Doctor degree and Illinois law license.

Marcia recently published her first children’s book that she authored and illustrated called The Gifts of Christmas. Marcia was inspired to write The Gifts of Christmas as a way to explain to her twin daughters the connection between Santa placing gifts under her Christmas tree and her family’s celebration of Jesus’s birthday on Christmas Day. Marcia’s hope is that her book will help parents bridge the gap between the story of Santa and the story of Jesus and ultimately spread the word of God. The Gifts of Christmas is now available for purchase online in English, Spanish, German, and Italian.
