She examines how narratives frame value-laden decisions and policy evolution, employing qualitative and visual methodologies to dissect the interplay between morality, rationality, and governance structures in public issue formation. Her publication pattern (2007-2020) reveals consistent focus on policy framing mechanisms in contentious areas, especially Canada's medical assistance in dying legislation. She analyzes how competing narratives shape policy development through discourse analysis, bridging theoretical public policy concepts with practical governance applications. Her work increasingly connects community partnership models with policy implementation frameworks.
