Marilyn has explored the rationale for an ecological approach to injury prevention which encompasses the multiple components involved in making decisions related to injury prevention and inclusive of individuals, communities, government agencies and business. "Decisions are driven by values as much as by scientific evidence and politics (the strife of interests) is a necessary part of decision making." Marilyn has had extensive experience in the development of health policy and public policy supportive of health. Her research interests lie in the area of reducing health disparities, with particular focus on identifying structures and processes to engage the voices of population groups (particularly the indigenous populations of colonised countries) in democratic decision making about the ‘upstream' policy and resource decisions of organisations and governments that, in turn, influence the life and health chances of populations. She is the Global Vice President for Advocacy and has worked closely with world leaders in health promotion to enhance the organisation's voice in global decision-making on issues affecting the health of populations, to strengthen professional practice in health promotion and to advocate for the further development of countries' health promotion capacity and infrastructure.

Marilyn graduated Bachelor of Arts with a double major in geography from the University of Auckland in 1976. Following sixteen years teaching at St Stephens School, Marilyn enrolled and graduated Master of Arts in Geography from the University of Auckland in 1992. Her thesis was entitled, Toitu Te Whenua: Relationships between whanau and whenua. Following the completion of her Masters degree, Marilyn continued to work in Māori education at Puukenga, Faculty of Māori Education at Unitec. In 1998, she consolidated these interests by undertaking study for a Doctor of Philosophy within the Department of Community Health based at the Injury Prevention Research Centre. This thesis describes the evaluation activities related to three Māori Community Injury Prevention Projects undertaken in New Zealand. The study assesses the extent to which the World Health Organization Safe Communities Model is an appropriate strategy to address Māori injury prevention in New Zealand. It also demonstrates how a collaborative and holistic approach to evaluation can improve implementation through the validation of cultural modus operandi. This model is called "The Powhiri Model" and is grounded in Māori tradition within a contemporary context. Currently Marilyn works at Nga Pae O Te Maramatanga: the National Centre of Research Excellence for Māori Community Development. Marilyn works with many Māori and indigenous researchers providing mentoring to PhD candidates, running doctoral conferences, developing knowledge transformation programmes and ensuring the dissemination of Māori research information to local, national and international communities.
