Since 2004, she has developed her career as an independent professional in architecture and urban planning. In 2007, she focused her work on International Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid.

She has been a member of the World Health Organization, where she coordinated the development of design and construction guidelines for infectious disease treatment centres.
In 2011, she co‑founded the organisation n’UNDO and its technical office n’OT | Global–Human–Environment as an alternative to traditional urban planning, where she has channelled her concerns for the city and the environment. Her practice includes project development, consultancy work, and evaluations.
She combines her professional activity with teaching and research. For more than twenty years, she has continued learning alongside students at different universities.
