TW FOR EATING DISORDER!

marley is 24 years old and a music performance major at mckinley. she's a singer and a songwriter and she pulls most of her inspiration from her real life. she is currently a senior.

marley is in new directions!

she grew up not very wealthy with a single mom. marley wishes she could've gone to carmel, but mckinley was the more affordable option and she was able to get loans to help with the cost.

marley had an eating disorder in her teens and early adulthood that delayed a lot of things for her. at the height of her disorder, she was in and out of treatment and not in any shape to start school, so she started her college experience later than some of her counterparts and she still feels weird about it.

these days, marley is much better, but she still goes to therapy regularly and uses therapy techniques to help her regulate her emotions so that she doesn't lapse back into her bulimia.

platonic!!
