Marki currently serves as a stay at home mother to her three children, Avery (August 2013), Ansli (April 2016), and Ridge (February 2018). She and her husband, Jamie, moved to Opelika in the fall of 2017 from Gulf Shores, Alabama. Marki graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Montevallo with her Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. She spent nine years working for a Fortune 500 company (most recently in Commercial Real Estate) in Birmingham before her first child’s NICU stay changed the course of her life, ultimately launching her into the world of the stay at home mom. She enjoys competing in pageants, reading anything she can put her hands on, serving with Church of the Highlands, spending time on Okaloosa Island, having great conversations with the best of friends, and spending lots of time with her family. Of course, you can usually find her pushing the biggest cart available around Target or TJMaxx - fear not, she vows she always returns the carts sanitized. (She is also a proclaimed germaphobe.) After a recent diagnosis, she has begun her advocacy for invisible chronic illnesses; a cause that personally affects her daily life with Dysautonomia and Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS).
