Ena Marlena, a.k.a. Nana, recently made Indonesia proud by achieving a Top 10 position in the prestigious Miss Europe Continental 2025 competition. Originating from Brebes City, Nana proved that dedication and thorough preparation are key to success, even amidst her busy schedule as a Chief Tenant Relation/Junior Manager at Lavenue Office & Residence.
With a strong educational background, having pursued her Bachelor’s degree at Sahid University Jakarta and Master’s degree at ARS University Bandung, Nana emphasized the intensive preparation required for an international beauty pageant. From exercise routines, maintaining a healthy diet, public speaking practice, catwalk training, traditional dance classes, makeup sessions, hair styling classes, to fitting sessions with renowned Indonesian designers, Nana’s preparation was comprehensive.
As the second of four siblings, Nana shared the challenges she faced on the international stage, particularly when having to wear a bikini. However, she expressed gratitude for the organizers’ respect for her by providing a cloth covering. Nana’s journey to the Miss Europe Continental stage was supported by a wealth of experience and achievements, including winning the title of Putri Batik Pekalongan 2012, being a finalist in The Supermodel Indonesia 2018, and participating as a model in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games 2018.
Furthermore, Nana often serves as a motivational speaker at universities and works as a freelance talent for various advertising campaigns. These accomplishments highlight Nana’s consistency in developing her talents. Following this outstanding achievement, Nana plans to resume her role as an employee and influencer at LAVENUE Office & Residence, while also expanding her business ventures. Nana, who enjoys playing tennis and horseback riding, hopes that her achievements will lead to broader career opportunities and networks, inspiring the younger generation.
“I believe that every individual has their own strengths and uniqueness,” she said. Nana encourages the youth to continue learning, upgrading themselves, working hard, striving, and praying, as she firmly believes that no effort is wasted.
