She holds a PhD in Art History from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and has spent the past two decades working across museums and contemporary art institutions, curating exhibitions, leading research and publishing projects, and developing international collaborations.

Alongside her museum practice, she teaches in higher education and regularly publishes on contemporary art, curatorial practice, and its relationship to society.
