Jill Biden

Jill Biden [1951 - ] became First Lady of the United States on January 20, 2021. She is the first spouse to hold this role while maintaining a full-time job outside of her official duties. Dr. Biden began her teaching career in 1975 and earned her Ed.D. in educational leadership from Delaware University in 2007. Balancing her role as a political spouse and as a mother, she has described earning her doctorate as the hardest thing she ever had to do, but she believes it was worth it: “I feel like I can make a difference in their lives.” She continues to teach writing full-time at Northern Virginia Community College, remaining committed to education and advocating for its importance.
