and I’ which initiated a series of workshops and programs aimed at developing visual and spatial literacy in schools.

Since 2016 she has been serving as vice-dean of international relations and art at her Faculty, during which time she has extensively worked on involving the school in the pinnacle
of relevant architectural education discussions such as those carried out within the EAAE, and initiated collaborations with European schools resulting in workshops, parallel studios
