Marti grew up in the village of Ziefen in the canton of Basel-Landschaft.[2][3] She studied economics at the University of Zurich.[1] Before she sat in Parliament, she worked part-time as a waitress.[1]
In December 2018, she became a National Councillor for Basel-Landschaft after the resignation of Susanne Leutenegger Oberholzer.[4] At the age of 24, she was the second youngest ever member to take office in the National Council after Pascale Bruderer (who was two months younger than her).[1][5] She was the youngest member of the National Council until the 2019 federal election.[6]
After her first days in Parliament, she stated: "I knew the right-wing was the majority, but seeing with my own eyes these fifty-something people peacefully destroy our future by pushing a button was an exceptionally intense experience."[1]
