Field of work

I am interested in how students learn and develop their professional competence, particularly the processes that help them become confident, skilled practitioners. To support high-quality, up-to-date occupational therapy practice, I have researched evidence-based practice. In my doctoral work, I investigated how a mobile app can be used as a learning tool to promote students’ ability to work in an evidence-based manner. I work as a manager, lecturer, and researcher in the Bachelor's program in Occupational Therapy at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL).
