A Bachelor of Arts from the University of Delaware
A Master of Education with a specialty in Reading from West Chester University
A Master of Arts degree in English from Villanova University
A Doctor of Education in educational leadership from the University of Delaware (which she earned at age 55)
She is also the first Second Lady to hold a paying job while her husband was Vice President. She worked as an associate professor at Northern Virginia Community College teaching three English and writing composition courses two days per week. Her position there was as normal as she could make it, sharing a cubicle with another teacher, holding regular office hours for students, and trying to get her accompanying Secret Service agents to dress as unobtrusively as possible.
