Her academic career spans over two decades, with teaching positions at the University of Ioannina, the University of Crete, and the Athens School of Fine Arts. She has also worked as an archaeologist with the Greek Ministry of Culture. Her research has been supported by prestigious institutions such as the Stanley J.
