Marianne qualified as an orthoptist in 2008 from University of Liverpool. After some time in clinical practice, diagnosing and managing binocular vision and ocular motility disorders in children and adults, she completed a Masters in Research at the University of Liverpool and moved to Glasgow Caledonian University to study visual distortions arising in amblyopia for her PhD.

After completing her PhD in 2015, which was strongly focused on clinical research, she coordinated the first UK randomised controlled trial evaluating video game-based perceptual learning as a treatment for children with amblyopia. She moved to the University of Surrey in June 2016 to train in health services research, maintaining her clinical orthoptic research through funded projects evaluating binocular vision in skilled video game players and people living with dementia respectively. Marianne has recently commenced a joint post as a Clinical Vision Research Fellow, working between the Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences and the Australian College of Optometry's National Vision Research Institute.
