She has received major funding from the British Academy for projects such as 'Lived Religion in Late Antique Egypt: Bodies, Objects, Places' and 'Coptic Manchester: Connecting Manuscripts and Communities.' Additionally, she co-edits a new book series on Coptic Gospels and has served on editorial boards for several journals.
