IHTG: Tell us a little about yourself (hometown, family life, etc.)

I’m Markie Darling, a native of Miami, Florida. I relocated to Atlanta in the fall of 2000. I’m a Certified Payroll Specialist, with over 10 years of executive level experience in Management, Human Resources, and Customer Service. I’m currently employed as a Senior Executive Payroll Specialist with a prominent payroll company in Atlanta. Simultaneously, I pursue my passion as an established business owner and entrepreneur of Daddy’s Girl BBQ. As a very active participant in the community, I’m a member of the Eastern Star organization, which lends itself to helping community-based non-profit organizations, Bags of Hope, The American Red Cross, and The United Way. I am also an active member of Faith Walk Ministries, where I serve on the Board of Trustees.
