STORY HIGHLIGHTS
  • Priscilla Chan marries longtime boyfriend Mark Zuckerberg
  • Chan reportedly has just graduated from medical school
  • The two met at Harvard more than nine years ago
(CNN) -- She likes Target, the Food Network and sun-dried tomatoes. She loves taking pictures of her dog Beast, and admits to checking her phone "every five seconds."
Priscilla Chan vaulted into the spotlight on Saturday when it was revealed she had married longtime boyfriend Mark Zuckerberg -- billionaire and Facebook founder. The wedding, according to media reports, came within days of Chan's graduation from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco.
The two met more than nine years ago while both were studying at Harvard. In a 2005 Harvard Crimson story about Zuckerberg leaving the university, he is quoted as asking Chan, identified as a "passing friend," "Hey, Priscilla, do you want a job at the Facebook?"
"I'd love a job at Facebook," she responds while "offering him a Twizzler."
But Chan, who graduated from Harvard as a biology major in 2007, never worked for Facebook.
Instead, the Braintree, Massachusetts, native worked as a fourth- and fifth-grade science teacher at The Harker School in San Jose, California, following her graduation. On Facebook, she described her job as "hanging out with the little ones and trying to explain how the world works."
Zuckerberg updates relationship status
She left the school in June 2008 and entered medical school, according to Facebook. "Learning to be a doctor," she noted on her page.
On the UCSF web site, Chan is quoted along with other students on the school. "I was attracted by the faculty's honesty and warmth and the curriculum's inter-disciplinary approach," she said. "San Francisco's quirkiness and diversity sealed the deal."
