I am a PhD candidate affiliated with the research project Adult Acquisition of Norwegian as a Second Language (ALAN). My research is in the field of second language acquisition and Norwegian as a second language. My research interests include second language spelling and the relation between written and spoken language in the process of acquiring a new language. 

The project is supervised by associate professor Åshild Søfteland (Østfold University College) and professor Ann-Kristin H. Gujord (University of Bergen).
