In the beginning of her professional life she gave literacy classes to SESI's Fundamental School, and attended English classes in technical schools. Marcia has been "enrolled" in the education field since the period before she graduated. When she was only 15 years old, Marcia used to help beginning students, giving them non-formal reinforcement classes.

From thereon, she put aside her teaching skills and started working for many multinational firms. In the last eleven years, she worked for Arthur Andersen, an auditing and consulting firm. During that period, she was in charge of the administrative supervision of AA's office, thus employee recruitment and training was also a part of her professional duties.
