I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Law faculty and the DIPA center (Department of Government, Social Sciences faculty) currently working on the PROTECT project (focusing on the integration of children's rights within crime prevention) and the COMPLEX project (exploring the connections between mental illness and criminal responsibility across 21 countries).

My PhD thesis focused on re-interpretating the right to education for autistic children in international and European law through a neurodiverse and rights-based analysis. Prior to coming to Norway, I had studied Law in France and International Affairs in England. I also hold a MA in Publishing and Creative writing. 

My main research interests revolve around children’s rights, neurodiversity and autism studies, child protection and juvenile justice, and knowledge and power issues.
