Her work combines academic research with practical experience in government consulting and policy analysis. Key contributions include studies on the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF), particularly the concept of *partial couplings*, and interdisciplinary approaches to compound urban crises. She has published in journals like *Policy Studies Journal* and *Ambio*, and her book chapter on Australia’s climate adaptation policies highlights innovative policy coupling strategies.
Teaching includes graduate courses on qualitative methods, policy processes, and applied research design at both institutions.
