We had the good fortune of connecting with Marlen Sifuentes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Marlen, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“Grow through what you go through” just remember everything happens for a reason either is a blessing or a lesson. You grow and learn everyday. Life can be hard sometimes, never lose hope never give up.!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Sometimes when is hard along the way, you feel like giving up, dont. Modeling for me is hard will continue to be .. but you learn on the way. Pause my carrer for years then went back at it again. On and off. I learn that if you cant stop thinking about it then dont give up.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I really dont go out like that haha but i would definitely take them to 77 degrees just because it looks so cool at night! Or bowling! They have pizza, wings, burgers, beers, ypu name it! Is fun!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I still have long way to go where i want to be. In the process i do want to shoutout my dad for always supporting me. Giving me advice, theres also one special person that help me on not giving up. Pushing me foward teaching me not be afraid of life, and that its okay if you fail sometimes. Jesus, thank you for everything.
