Academic & professional history:

I completed my doctoral degree in social anthropology in New Zealand (2004-2008). My PhD research explored children's capacities for resilience in the context of domestic violence and other life adversities through a community-based intervention and life-story interviews.

I worked at the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria in Geneva, Switzerland from 2008-2011 in project officer roles in the proposals, performance and strategic information teams. This work experience reinforced the challenges of providing global health financing and policy guidance that reflects the needs of intended beneficiaries; of fostering local participation and leadership in aid-donor relationships; and of accurately and meaningfully evaluating project results. I continue to explore these challenges in my current research.

I was postdoctoral researcher at the National University of Ireland Galway (NUIG) from 2011-2013, in the interdisciplinary Atlantic Diabetes in Pregnancy (ATLANTIC-DIP) project team. This project investigated screening and lifestyle modification to reduce long-term diabetes risks among women with gestational diabetes in two randomised controlled trials.

In 2014, I moved to Norway to take up a position at NTNU as postdoctoral researcher and project coordinator for the first phase of the Addressing Domestic Violence in Antenatal Care Environments (ADVANCE) study, led by Professor Berit Schei. I am now co-leading the second phase of the ADVANCE project, funded by the Research Council of Norway from 2020 to 2025.

In addition to my research activities at NTNU, since 2016, I have been involved in the establishment, evolution and leadership of NTNU's master of science degree program in global health, sharing responsibilities for lecturing, input on student research protocols, grading assignments, examinations, course coordination, and supervising and examining thesis research projects. Since August 2021, I have been the scientific leader of the study program.

Starting in autumn 2025, I will be NTNU's scientific director for an interdisciplinary joint master degree program, HumanResponse (Coordinated Humaniatarian Response, Health and Displacement), funded by the European Commission from 2025-2030.
