Additionally, she contributes to the accounting education literature, exploring topics such as motivation, learning, and initiatives aimed at strengthening the accounting pipeline. She has published in academic journals such as Auditing: A Journal of Practice & Theory, Journal of Information Systems, and Accounting Horizons.
