Career

Singles career

Marley won the novice silver medal at the 2009 U.S. Championships. She was 5th on the junior level in 2011.

Partnership with Brubaker

Marley and Brubaker teamed up after a two-day tryout in August 2010. She was previously a singles skater and had no pairs experience but passed her pairs test on August 31, 2010. The pair was coached by John Nicks. Marley relocated to Aliso Viejo, California.

Marley and Brubaker's first international competition was the Mentor Nestle Nesquik Cup in Toruń, Poland, where they earned the minimum technical scores required to compete at an ISU Championship. They placed fourth at the 2011 U.S. Nationals and were named as alternates for Four Continents. They were assigned to the event after an injury led Caydee Denney and Jeremy Barrett to withdraw. Jenni Meno and Todd Sand became their main coaches for the 2011-12 season and Nicks also continued to work with the pair.

In the 2012–2013 season, Marley and Brubaker were assigned to 2012 Skate Canada International and 2012 NHK Trophy, however, on August 14, 2012, the pair announced the end of their partnership. Marley decided to step away from competitive figure skating due to a long-term battle with an eating disorder. She works as a coach and choreographer in Chicago.
