Marley just finished her undergraduate degree in psychology last fall and is pursuing a graduate degree in the Human Dimensions of Natural Resources program. She hopes to focus her research on wildlife-human relations, specifically as they apply to compassion. She moved to Colorado five years ago from Lake Tahoe, California. Fort Collins has been the perfect fit for her as she enjoys skiing, hiking, mountain air and kindness. When not studying, she spends her time taking care of many plants and pets, and is deeply passionate about educating people on how to properly care for a betta fish.
