Marilen Martin studied and worked in China, Italy, Ukraine, the US, and Russia and has a background in International Relations from TU Dresden and Johns Hopkins SAIS. Her experience in journalism started at ZDF, where she worked as an intern in Moscow when Russia launched its full-scale invasion. After continuing to work as a freelance journalist for ZDF, she interned with the European Data Journalism Network in Trento, Italy, where she wrote about Ukraine's green reconstruction. This summer, Marilen will start an internship in journalism at Bloomberg in Frankfurt am Main. In the framework of the Transatlantic Fellowship, she plans to investigate the role of U.S.companies in Ukraine’s green reconstruction. Her research will focus on actual and pledged investment flows and evaluating how effectively these are supporting to rebuild Ukraine sustainably, while considering what is required on the ground to ensure a resilient reconstruction.
