Her research focuses on mathematics education, inquiry-based learning, and classroom norms, particularly in ill-structured problem contexts. She has collaborated on projects addressing numeracy teaching practices and the development of evidence-based norms in mathematics classrooms.

Her work includes contributions to conferences such as the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) and the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education (CERME). Key publications explore sociomathematical norms, guided mathematical inquiry, and statistical reasoning in educational settings. While no formal awards or student advisement records are listed, her research emphasizes practical applications of inquiry methods in teacher education and curriculum design.

Publications span 2018–2020, reflecting a sustained focus on improving pedagogical approaches through evidence-based frameworks and collaborative classroom environments.
