Partnership with Brubaker
[edit]Marley and Brubaker teamed up after a two-day tryout in August 2010.[3][4] She was previously a singles skater and had no pairs experience but passed her pairs test on August 31, 2010.[5] The pair was coached by John Nicks. Marley relocated to Aliso Viejo, California.[4]
Marley and Brubaker's first international competition was the Toruń 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.
