Recent work explores male victim-survivors’ perspectives on coercive control criminalization, legal system abuses affecting victim-survivors, and LGBTQ+ individuals’ legal navigation challenges.
Her publications (2023–2025) highlight systemic gaps in legal responses to domestic abuse, with a focus on marginalized groups. Advising/grants: No specific grants listed, though her research aligns with violence prevention initiatives. She collaborates with teams focused on criminological policy and gender studies.
