Marlene Illig

🇩🇪 Germany

Working Student

From political science lectures to media research—Marlene has been part of AITASTIC since April 2025 as a Working Student in Mainz. She already holds a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and is currently completing her Master’s in Empirical Democracy Research. 

Before joining the team, she worked at a regional newspaper in Hannover and gained additional experience during an internship at a political foundation. Today, she supports the team by researching and analyzing media coverage to help deliver valuable insights.

Outside of work and university life, Marlene likes to stay active: working out at the gym, cheering for her favorite football club in the stadium, or spending her weekends exploring nature and new cities.
