She examines historical evolution of workplace design alongside contemporary challenges like flex-office implementation, telework integration, and facility management. Her work reveals how spatial arrangements influence power structures, informal interactions, and resistance behaviors within organizations, particularly during transitions like post-pandemic workplace reconfigurations. Analysis of her 2020-2025 publications shows intensifying focus on pandemic-driven workplace transformations, with recurring themes including spatial psychology in office design, employer branding through workspace aesthetics, and digital tools enabling flexible work arrangements. Her research methodology heavily utilizes corporate case studies (notably Société Générale) and healthcare settings, producing actionable insights for facility managers and organizational leaders navigating hybrid work models. Through her leadership of the EMN BS/CCMP Case Study Collection, she actively curates sustainability-focused educational materials while maintaining robust industry engagement via Harvard Business Review columns, Facilities magazine contributions, and professional workshops with organizations like La Poste Groupe. Her pre-academic experience in Facility Management (LMCB, Paris) and translation teaching at University of Glasgow informs her practitioner-oriented research approach.
