Marlene’s keen eye for detail has served her throughout her professional career. Before joining Sand Hill, she spent several years as an Account Manager and Recruiter at a staffing agency, where she specialized in placing administrative and customer service professionals across a wide range of organizations and industries. She also worked in the luxury retail space, where she honed her skills in delivering white-glove client service.

As a Senior Administrative Assistant at Sand Hill, Marlene combines strong people skills with administrative expertise. She enjoys interacting with clients and learning new systems and processes. In addition to supporting Client Service Associates and Wealth Managers, she manages day-to-day office operations and assists with the coordination and quality review of quarterly reporting deliverables. Marlene brings a bright outlook and positive energy to every situation. She is versatile, thrives in a multi-faceted role, and understands the importance of executing even the smallest tasks with integrity—an approach that helps keep operations running smoothly.

Outside of work, Marlene’s greatest passion is fashion. She enjoys window shopping and thrifting around town and often re-works her finds. Having developed a strong aesthetic eye as a visual merchandiser in luxury fashion, she may one day open a boutique with her sister, who shares her love of style. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Marlene enjoys being near the water. She is also actively involved in volunteer work supporting community outreach, public events, and civic engagement.
