However, she felt as though it would be essential to receive a more formal education in the field. With that being said, she attended the Intergraphics College for Photography and the Stereosis Art School for Photography from 2006 to 2009 in Thessaloniki, Greece. Thereafter, she was quick to begin presenting her work and made her first appearance in the industry in 2007 in Thessaloniki, Greece. She gained further experience by participating in video art and director of photography seminars and workshops organised by the French and British Council, as well as workshops hosted by the in famous Swedish photographer, JS Enghstrom.
Since 2007, she has worked as an administrative printer and developer in black and white photography, as well as colour photography. She has also worked as a curator in photography exhibitions and festivals, as a director of photography and executive producer in video arts and film documentaries, in addition she has worked as a freelance photographer in commercial, travel, documentary and contemporary photography.

Additionally, in 2011 she won in the Universal Contest of Photography from the Hellenic National Team for the UNESCO Award of one of the best ten photographers in “color photography.”
One of her biggest dreams was to travel all over the world in order to explore and discover herself in a different ways, and in 2010 she decided to start traveling in Asia. In 2013 she found herself living in India after making several trips there, and she felt that this was one of her most life changing decisions.
