During her time at FSU Marla was a part of the National Championship golf team and won the Florida Collegiate State Championship. She completed a degree in Business Administration in 1984. Overcoming many obstacles throughout the years, Marla has become very successful in the banking world.

In 1999 she became the City Executive for BB&T in Lynchburg, VA, at the time she was only one of five women in the company to hold this position.

She is married and has four daughters, Kristina, Jessica, Alexandra (19) and Amelia (16). Other than the US Mid Amateur, she plays golf for business and social purposes.
