She has received grants from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and presented at major conferences such as the Western Economics Association International.
Her advising and grant activity includes projects on P2P lending and stock market spillovers, funded by multiple institutional grants since 2012. Collaborations with Richard Burdekin and others highlight recurring themes in international macroeconomic analysis.
