She is deeply interested in the diverse actual and legal nature of each public space, the development of legal tools for the protection of the right to public space and the principles ruling it, such as autonomy, equality, inclusivity, pluralism, neutrality, subsidiarity, proportionality and the prohibition of abuse of rights in a democratic society.

In 2021-2022, she was an academic fellow in the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, and she delivered lectures about human rights. She is passionate about the explicit recognition of the right to public space at a constitutional level.
