Her research investigates the complex dynamics between translators and stakeholders including copy-editors, publishers, and public sector institutions. Key interests include pedagogical methodologies for heterogeneous interpreter training groups, sociolinguistic aspects of professional communication in translation workflows, and systemic gaps in Norwegian public sector translation services.
