Her research interests focus on transnational migration dynamics , peri-urban agricultural change , and digital welfare innovations , employing mixed methods including GIS, remote sensing, and critical social analysis. Recent work examines migration patterns through social media analytics and welfare accessibility in sparsely populated regions, reflecting her commitment to methodologically innovative geographical research addressing contemporary societal challenges. Her publication trends reveal a consistent focus on migration-land use interconnections (2014-2018), evolving toward digital welfare systems and Nordic regional analysis (2020-2024). Key themes include climate-migration linkages in Bolivia, critical examinations of academic labor conditions, and innovative digital approaches to migration tracking using social media data.
