Markela holds an Associate Degree in Accounting and a BS in Economics. She has worked in sales and accounting for sales. She enjoyed accounting, but developed an interest in data analysis and was eager to find a program that focused on the field.

She joined SF State's Master of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) program in 2020 to advance her knowledge and career. In January 2023, she started job hunting for business analyst roles and was able to secure a position with Acumen immediately after graduation, utilizing skills learned and class projects from the program in her technical interview.
