Marianne's training as a classical dancer sparked her initial interest in young children's creativity. After graduating with a BA in French and History, she completed her postgraduate studies (University of Glasgow). Marianne taught Primary Education for several years at premium independent boarding schools in Edinburgh before moving to Reggio Emilia, Italy. In 2013, she held an Early Years Teacher post at the International School of Modena.

Reggio Emilia's unique approach to Early Childhood has informed Marianne's work as a teacher and researcher for over twenty years. Marianne has collaborated with educational organisations on research and development programmes, including Learning Teaching Scotland at Glasgow University, the International Baccalaureate Organization, and The Lego Foundation.
