Marlee is a fourth-year in the Commerce school with a concentration in Marketing and Management. Marlee is a sprinter on the Track & Field team. She is a McIntire DEI Belonging Intern and assists in developing programs that engage the McIntire student body. As a UVA Cohort Mentor, she helps first-year students facilitate trusting relationships through clear communication and appropriate boundaries. She graduated from Westbury High School in Houston.

Marlee’s story is one of determination and perseverance. She spent her first two years at Virginia as team manager of the Track and Field team, never losing sight of her goal to become a member of the team. By her third year, her grit, determination, and hard work turned dream to reality, and she is now one of the top four fastest members of the sprint-team group.

Her service as team manager proved so inspiring that she received the first ever Marlee Morgan Service Award, created last year by the Athletics Department as an annual award recognizing a student-manager who serves as an inspiration to others.
