Her PhD project, Co-creative Perspectives: Digitalisation Practices in Early Childhood Education and Care, focuses on digitalisation processes, participation, and co-creation with the youngest children (0-3 years). Supervised by Nina Johannesen, her research examines interdisciplinary approaches in early childhood education and integrates methodologies from play, aesthetics, and art (via the BLÆK research group).

Recent works address screen media debates, co-creative digital practices, and the role of aesthetics in educational research. She contributes to academic discourse through collaborations with institutions like the Early Childhood Studies cluster.

Her teaching and research emphasize praxis-based learning, teacher autonomy, and ethical considerations in digital integration. She is actively involved in shaping kindergarten teacher education programs and advancing interdisciplinary methodologies in early childhood studies.
