Her research interests broadly focus on effective teaching and learning in higher education, explored through a critical lens.

Additionally, she has conducted research on the use of instructional technologies to validate and empower female students, the unique academic and development needs of the rural principal, and, currently, introducing rigor to the curriculum design process.
