She was born in Sitia, Crete, and completed her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the Department of History and Archaeology of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
In 2005, she was awarded a PhD from the same institution, with a dissertation titled "Seal Impressions with Representations of Human Figures: A Contribution to the Study of the Administrative System of Neopalatial Crete." Her dissertation was published in 2006 as the 11th volume of the journal Kritiki Estia.
From 1994 to 2005, she worked as a contract archaeologist in both systematic and rescue excavations in Crete (Palaikastro, Voroi) and primarily in Macedonia, at archaeological sites in the regional units of Kilkis (Europos, Palaio Gynaikokastro, Axioupoli), Pella (Giannitsa, Aravissos), Imathia (Angelochori, Kryoneri, Megali Santa), and Florina (Vegora, Agios Panteleimonas).
During the same period (1991–2005), she was a core member of the university excavation team at the prehistoric settlement of Archontiko, Giannitsa and participated in several research projects led by the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
In 2006, she was appointed as an Archaeologist at the Prefectural Administration of Karditsa (Department of Culture and Tourism), where she served until July 2010. In August of the same year, she was transferred to the 27th Ephorate of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities in the regional unit of Pieria, where she remained until August 2013.
In September 2013, she was transferred to the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, where she continues to serve to this day. Since July 2014, she has held the position of Head of Department: initially in the Department of Public Relations, Documentation & Publications, followed by the Department of Collections of Metalwork, Glyptic & Minor Arts, then in the Department of Ceramic, Metalwork and Minor Arts Collections, and, since 2024, in the Department of Metalwork and Minor Arts Collections and Exhibitions.
Her research interests and publications focus on topics in Minoan archaeology—particularly sealings and seals, administration, iconography, and political geography—as well as on issues related primarily to the prehistory of Macedonia, especially the Bronze Age. She places particular emphasis on the study of seals, seal stones, sphragistic metal rings, and minor glyptic art in general (e.g., study and publication of seal stones from Late Bronze Age cemeteries in Pieria, among others).
Regarding her academic and scholarly work, she has edited publications, contributed to collective scientific volumes, published in conference proceedings and journals, and written texts and entries in catalogues for archaeological exhibitions.
