Senior Seychelle Marks-Bienen was born in Missoula, Montana, but moved to Southeast Portland at the age of two. She is a member of the girls varsity soccer team here at La Salle, and during the months when high school soccer is not in season, she spends most of her time playing soccer for her club team and working the front desk at Rose City Futsal.

Having roots in both Oregon and Montana, she greatly enjoys the outdoors and loves traveling, hiking, skiing, and spending time at the beach. She hopes to one day visit the Seychelle Islands, a country off the coast of Africa from which she got her name.

In her free time, she enjoys watching movies, reading, playing the piano, listening to music, and spending time with friends.
