In the recent years, I have been involved in research examining migrant involvement in welfare services; I studied migrant mental health; I was involved in and researched migrant organizations; and I examined the refugee settlement strategies of the Norwegian municipalities. My research interests span migration; transnationalism; public health; studies in mental health and well-being; resilience; welfare services; family migration. Since 2019, I have been an assistant editor of the Nordic Journal of Migration Research.

PhD candidate at the University of Sheffield funded by the National Institute of Health Research, School for Public Health Research. My research focuses on the relationship between local level ethnic density and mental health outcomes in the UK. I use structural equation modelling on data from the cohort study Understanding Society to model the pathways involved in this relationship. My research also aims to explore the potential effect of local authority social cohesion policy on the relationship between ethnic density and mental health and well-being.
