Born in 1966, raised in Swan Valley, Idaho.

Marilee Jacobson Moe is a model with Wilhelmina Models and was with Ford Models for over seventeen years. She and her husband, Jon Moe, a photographer and former model, are the parents of three children. She has worked in film for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which she is a member.

Marilee Jabcobson Moe spent over 33 years building her international modeling career, working for some of the top modeling agencies around the world including Ford Models, Bella Agency, and Wilhelmina. As a young woman from a small town, her experiences working abroad in places like Israel, France, and Russia inspired her to gain a better understanding of the politics, art, and culture she encountered. As a result, Jacobson Moe first decided to enroll at the School of General Studies in 1997.

While Jacobson Moe loved what she was learning in her classes and the flexibility the school afforded her while she continued to model, with two small children at home and an opportunity to do contracted modeling work with a German fashion and beauty company that would require more travel time, she chose to put her education on pause.

She continued to balance modeling, travel, and a growing family, while also serving as a Boy Scouts of America Cub Master, volunteering with parent committees at her children's schools, and working as an event planner and photo studio manager.

Now that her children are older, Jacobson Moe finally felt like it was the right time in her life to return to the School of General Studies and to prioritize finishing her degree. As an incoming Spring 2020 student, she plans to focus her studies in the liberal arts with classes in literature, humanities, history, and more.
