Her theological work brings the thought of the Fathers and Mothers of the Church into dialogue with contemporary social, political, ethical, gender-related, cultural and educational questions. A central concern of her research is how the resources of the Christian and particularly the Orthodox tradition may be critically interpreted in relation to the challenges of contemporary societies.

She worked for twenty-two years in private secondary education as a teacher of Religious Education. She has taught at the Universities of Manchester, Athens and the Aegean, and, from 2006 to 2020, at the Hellenic Open University in the postgraduate program “Studies in Orthodox Theology.” She has authored educational material for distance learning and has supervised more than fifty postgraduate dissertations.

She is the author of books, articles in academic journals and chapters in edited volumes, and has also served as the editor and co-editor of academic publications. Since 2023, she has served as President of the Greek Section of the European Society of Women in Theological Research and is a member of several academic associations and societies.
