It took three encounters with the same scout to convince Marlene that modelling might actually be worth a try. Growing up in Hamburg, it had never been part of her plan until KULT kept spotting her on her way home. After finishing school, Marlene packed a backpack and travelled solo through South America before diving further into modelling and discovering even more places and people along the way.
Today, she studies Cultural Studies and Popular Music alongside modelling. When she is not working or studying, Marlene is happiest in nature, watching the world go by from her favourite café or heading out dancing with friends. Hamburg, and especially the family and friends around her, remains firmly home.
