Marie

Marie Wiley is single, and lives in an apartment in Cherry Hill, New Jersey.  She is 29 years old.

Cherry Hill is right across the Delaware River from Philadelphia.  It is considered to be a suburb of Philadelphia even though it is not in Pennsylvania.  Many people who live in Cherry Hill work in Center City Philadelphia.

Marie graduated from Haddonfield Memorial High School in 1999.  She attended college at the University of Pennsylvania in the city, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science in 2003.

While in high school, Marie was involved in many after-school activities.  She was in the Debate Club, the History Club, and a member of the Student Council.  Marie had an early interest in politics and government, probably due to her mother's involvement in local government.

Marie works at Ballard Spahr LLP, a prestigious law firm in Philadelphia.  While working at the firm, Marie attended graduate school at U of P in the evenings and on weekends, and eventually graduated with a Master of Laws degree in 2005.

Marie's father James works as a car salesman at the local Ford Motor dealership.  Her mother Jennifer is a Councilwoman on the Cherry Hill Township Council.  Marie is an only child.
