She went on to earn her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Radio/TV/Film from Cal State University, Northridge. While there, she wrote and directed two short films.
Almost immediately following graduation, her filmmaking dreams took a back seat to on-camera work as Marquita booked her first television series, NBC's popular teen sitcom, "USA High" (1997).

She also portrayed the Recurring role of Attorney Iris McNeill on ABC's successful daytime drama, "General Hospital" (1972).
Additionally, she was a Series Regular on the NBC sitcom "Kristin" (2001) (starring with Kristin Chenoweth) and the WB drama titled "Deep Cover" (2002).
