Jill Biden turned 75 on June 3, although the timeless beauty looks far from it.
Most people may know Jill as the former First Lady of the United States alongside her husband, former President Joe Biden, or as a dedicated teacher, however, did you know that Jill was once a model in her early 20s?
In celebration of Jill's birthday, we're taking a walk down memory lane to explore her transformation over the years below.
Jill's ambitions

She shared with Vogue: "From an early age, I knew I wanted my own money, my own identity, and my own career."
Jill impressively went on to earn four degrees, including a bachelor's from the University of Delaware, two master's from Villanova University and West Chester University, as well as a doctoral degree at 55 years old, from the University of Delaware.
Jill's time as a model

She revealed to Vogue that back then, she took on "five jobs where you get paid, like, 20 bucks," and her time as a model was short-lived.

Joe's brother Frank Biden, who attended college with Jill, set them up on a blind date and the rest was history.
Jill's career as a teacher

She evolved in her career and began teaching English at St. Mark's High School and then became Claymont High School's reading specialist.

Later on, she became a teacher at Delaware Technical Community College.

From 2009 to 2017, she served as Northern Virginia Community College's full-time English professor, during which Joe served as the Vice President of the United States alongside then-President Barack Obama.
Between 2021 and 2025, she continued her work there, as Joe served as the president at the time.
