Marceline's journey into the entertainment industry was anything but conventional and is a true testament to resilience, diversity, and the pursuit of dreams. She is a multifaceted individual with a diverse background spanning across media, fashion, film, military service, motherhood and community advocacy, all interconnected by her unique life story.
Born in Gulfport, Mississippi, Marceline's life story is as captivating as her namesake town, Marceline, Missouri - a place that inspired young Walt Disney's most magical memories. Her origins are rooted in a complex family history. Her biological mother, an Assyrian-Christian refugee who fled religious persecution in the Middle East, was just 14 when Marceline was born. Her biological father, a 17-year-old from Biloxi, Mississippi, completed this unlikely pair.
Shortly after Marceline's birth, her life took an unexpected trajectory. Her paternal grandmother took custody of her as an infant, separating her from her biological mother. She then obtained an amended birth certificate that listed herself as Marceline's biological mother and her Filipino husband, a former military serviceman, as the father. This act concealed Marceline's biological ethnic heritage and parents, which set the stage for a lifelong journey of self-discovery. She spent the majority of her adolescent years in San Diego, CA., and became independent at the age of 17. She spent the next seven years balancing work, life, and eventually motherhood, each step forging her into a pillar of resilience.
At 28, Marceline embarked on a transformative path by joining the U.S. Navy as a Seabee Diesel Construction Mechanic. During her service, she demonstrated remarkable determination, balancing her military duties with motherhood and education. She earned two Associate of Science degrees from San Diego City College and later graduated with honors from California State University, Northridge, obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Broadcast Journalism with a minor in Sociology.
Marceline's professional life is as diverse as her background. She gained valuable experience working in news at ABC7 along with various freelance projects. As the CEO of New Circle Media, she leads a startup offering aerial videography, content production, and social media management services. She has also appeared in film and television projects, including "June & John" and "Sangre Negra", and has modeled locally and internationally. Her athletic interests include working out and combat sports like Krav Maga.
In addition to her professional pursuits, Marceline is an active volunteer and advocate for military veterans. She serves as a Veteran Engagement Coordinator with Team RWB and is an ambassador for Pin-Ups For Vets, Veterans in Media & Entertainment (VME), and a member of the Hollywood American Legion Post 43.
Marceline continues to push boundaries, embodying the spirit of resilience and adaptability that has defined her remarkable journey. She continues to be the beacon of hope and resilience, illuminating the path for those who dare to dream beyond the ordinary.
