I am a lecturer in criminologist with a legal background. My research focuses on children and the justice system, children's rights and how states deal with situations of violence and conflict. I defended my thesis "Justice for children? A socio-legal study on Colombia's responses to children associated with armed violence" October 2021 at the Department of Criminology, Stockholm University.

Since my Ph.D. at Stockholm University, I have been a substitute and then a permanent employee at the Faculty of Health Sciences at HKr, teaching courses in criminology and sociology. I have also taught and examined on occasional courses in criminology, sociology and law at Stockholm University, Lund University and the University of Oslo.
