My research focuses on how Christian faith schools in Norway balance faith-based teaching with promoting critical thinking. My PhD examined how schools integrate critical thinking into their educational projects, also exploring how they address accusations of indoctrination while fostering reflection and autonomy. My current research project focuses on students’ perspectives on faith-based teaching and their opportunities for critical thinking.

I hold a PhD in Education from the University of Oslo (2024). I have also completed a 200-hour programme in University and College Pedagogy at NLA University College (2021).

My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Education (2012) and a Bachelor’s degree in Education (2009), both from NLA University College.

Since 2014, I have taught the subject "Pedagogy and pupil-related skills" (pedagogikk og elevkunnskap) all five years of the teacher education programme. I have also taught "professionally oriented pedagogy" (profesjonspedagogikk) within the Master’s programme in Professional Pedagogy, and have contributed to teaching in the Master’s programme in Education at NLA in Sandviken.

Currently, I teach second- , fourth-year, and fifth-year students in teacher education and supervise master’s students.
