Her research interests focus on the sociolinguistic dimensions of morality, including how language constructs and challenges social norms. Recent work examines racial empowerment through discourse, media framing of racism, and the role of quotation in political communication. She teaches qualitative methods and has published extensively on topics like stereotype management and interactional strategies in civil service contexts.

Her articles highlight trends in analyzing digital discourse, the ethics of media representation, and the interplay between language and identity. While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, her contributions to discourse analysis and social psychology are notable in their methodological rigor and critical engagement with societal issues.
