Her programme of research has three related foci. The first, focuses on women in education leadership and management. She studies the different approaches to education leadership. Since she is interested in how women are dealing with classical patriarchal systemic societal structures, this also engages her in the critical analysis of gender issues in education. This combined focus on women leading education and gender issues has also led her towards a third line of inquiry, the study of social justice in education. She is committed to be part of professionals working with commitment and passion for excellence attainment in a dynamic and challenging environment.
