She has been employed by the Greek Ministry of Culture at the Ephorate of Antiquities of the Dodecanese since 1989. Her duties included rescue excavations, the protection of the historic preserved settlements of the medieval city of Rhodes, Lindos and Symi and various administrative and management issues related to the responsibilities of the local Ephorate of Antiquities. Proficient in French, Spanish, English and Italian she has written several articles that have been published in collective volumes and conference proceedings, contributing to the archaeological research and the knowledge of the monuments within the jurisdiction of the Dodecanese Ephorate of Antiquities.

“I feel deeply grateful for the honour of being part of this beautiful collective work. Sharing the knowledge I’ve gained over the years—working with the monuments and people of my home city—has been a true gift. It’s a small, but meaningful contribution to the research and understanding of my country’s past.”
