Christopher Marley

Christopher Marley, a Marine Corps veteran, FSU nursing alumnus and current Master of Business Administration (MBA) student, has demonstrated remarkable resilience throughout his academic and career journey.
While working as a nurse in late 2021, Marley experienced a life-threatening stroke when he was just three classes short of graduation with his third degree, an MBA from Florida State University.
Since then, he has been working on recovery, and with the help of FSU’s Student Veterans Center and Office of Accessibility Services, recently returned to FSU to finish his MBA in hopes of making a difference in health care administration.
Marley’s journey has shaped his perspective on leadership and resilience. He emphasizes the importance of perseverance, taking risks and not letting complacency hinder personal and professional growth.
Through FSU’s Student Veterans Center, Marley has participated in community outreach and events while also finding a community that supports him throughout his education and recovery.
