Marshall has been a paralegal serving at the Pima Co. Indigent Defense Public Defender for 5 years. He holds two bachelor's degrees from Arizona State University (ASU), one in Religious Studies and another in the Philosophy of Morality, Politics, and Law. and a post-degree paralegal certificate from Pima Community College. After completing a year of law school at the University of Dayton, he took a "one-year leave of absence" to pursue master's degree in Forensic Psychology from ASU, which he received in May 2024, and, in May 2025, he completed a master's degree in Legal Studies from the University of Arizona. Having become firmly convinced that his profession was meant to be more "law adjacent" than actual "law", he is currently enrolled in ASU's Psychology MS program and looking into doctoral programs.
