About Me

My name is Marley Burke, I am a student at Arizona State University through the Starbucks College Achievement Program. I work as a barista at Starbucks in St. Petersburg, Florida. What drove me to apply was the unique selection of programs, majors, and courses ASU has to offer. I am now a part of the School of Life Sciences, majoring in biology, with a focus in conservation and ecology.

I decided to pursue a degree in conservation ecology because I have always been interested in nature, and the environment- and personally I really love all things outdoors. I spend a good majority of my free time in my garden with my cat, and on hikes with my partner. Something I would love to do with my degree one day is working for a national park. That has always been a dream of mine, and once I graduate, it could be a reality!
