She also contributed to the K–12 Artificial Intelligence Framework as part of the ACS Athens AI Task Force. Active in the wider science education community, she has co-authored international publications and presented at conferences including the Athens Science Festival. She is dedicated to inspiring her students to see themselves as scientists, innovators, and problem-solvers.
