My primary research focuses on professional cross-sectional interaction (samhandling) and gifted education. I lead and lecture students, school and kindegarden leaders in subjects such as school and Early childhood leadership Education and Care (ECEC), development processes, «The Unforeseen» in education, teacher professional development, gifted education and digital literacy. My teaching approach is grounded in adult learning theories, encouraging critical thinking and reflective practice.I lead the research group "Children with high and exceptional potential for learning" in Norway, where we explore the development of gifted and twice-exceptional (2E) children. This work supports educators, practitioners, and policymakers in fostering educational environments that promote excellence and equity.In addition to my academic work, I have been dedicated to promoting the safe and mindful use of social media for children and young people. Through my involvement with the Barnevakten foundation (Kids & Media), I have delivered lectures and workshops to school leaders, teachers, healthcare professionals, parents, and students on navigating social media in a secure and responsible manner.Outside of academia, I channel my creativity through freeform crochet, where I combine artistic exploration with a reflective scholarly approach. As an outsider artist (art brut), I find joy in blending colors and textures, pushing creative boundaries in ways that mirror my work in education—both challenge conventions and inspire innovation.
