Marilyn has worked as a platform medium doing public demonstrations of mediumship in Florida and England. She has also done Sunday Lecture and Message Services for several churches in the Central Florida area. She has served in many positions in local churches, including President of the Board of Directors for the Spiritualist Church of Awareness, and as a Charter Member and first President of the Light of Spiritualism Church, both in the Orlando area. She is currently the Director of the International Foundation for Spiritual Knowledge, Inc., having been encouraged to start this organization by Eamonn Downey from England.  Marilyn is available for private readings in each of the cities she works in.
