About me
Current research interests include individual differences in language acquisition trajectories, multilingualism and second language acquisition, parent-child interaction and children's use of gesture in narrative.
- PhD in general linguistics

I currently teach in various courses in linguistics, focusing child language acquisition, as well as courses within the speech pathology program at the Karolinska Institute.
Deputy coordinator for the master program in child language acquisition.
The INVENT project (PI: Signe Tonér): in this project, funded by the Swedish Research Council, we investigate language ability in the majority language in children when they enter the mandatory school system in Sweden.
The MINT project (PI: Tove Nilsson Gerholm): project member.
The aim of my thesis project Language and executive functions in Swedish preschoolers was to investigate relationships between linguistic skills and executive functions in children aged 4-6 and to examine potential effects of specified preschool interventions with regard to these skills.
