Her research explores barriers and facilitators in implementing inclusive pedagogical innovations, particularly through qualitative and quantitative approaches. Key projects include evaluating language-promoting interventions via book reading and conversations in preschool and analyzing the Inclusive Behavioural Support in Schools framework. She employs tools like the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Determinants of Implementation Behavior Questionnaire to assess implementation dynamics.

Recent publications examine collective teacher efficacy in inclusion, staff perceptions of behavioral support frameworks, and cooperative learning challenges in Swedish schools. Supervised by Professor Mara Westling Allodi and Universitetslektor Mina Sedem, her work emphasizes organizational investment, collegial collaboration, and pedagogical fit for successful implementation.
