Μετά την ολοκλήρωση των σπουδών της, ακολούθησε μεταπτυχιακές σπουδές στη Διοίκηση Ανθρώπινου Δυναμικού. Η καριέρα της στο κόσμο των επιχειρήσεων, στη συμβουλευτική καριέρας και στην επιλογή του κατάλληλου ανθρώπου για τη κατάλληλη θέση, της έδειξε ότι οι άνθρωποι επιτυγχάνουν ή αποτυγχάνουν στην εργασία τους τις περισσότερες φορές για λόγους που είναι ανεξάρτητοι από τα προσόντα τους. Εκείνο που καθορίζει τη τύχη των ανθρώπων στη εργασία τους είναι πρωτίστως η προσωπικότητα τους και οι επιλογές τους. Οι παραπάνω εργασιακές εμπειρίες της και τα ερωτήματα που προκύπτουν τόσο από την φροντίδα των παιδιών με ειδικές ικανότητες όσο και από τον κόσμο της εργασίας με οδήγησαν στην απόφαση να σπουδάσει Ψυχολογία. Ολοκλήρωσε τις σπουδές της στο Τμήμα Ψυχολογίας του Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών με Άριστα. Το Άριστα σηματοδοτεί το αμέριστο ενδιαφέρον μου για τον άνθρωπο και το προσωπικό κόπο μου να εξερευνήσω και να ανακαλύψω τι μας καθορίζει, τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε, τι μπορούμε να αλλάξουμε, πως μπορούμε να υπάρχουμε με νόημα. Παράλληλα με τις σπουδές της στο Πανεπιστήμιο ξεκίνησε ένα κύκλο εκπαίδευσης στη Διαγνωστική Ψυχολογία σε ανοικτό κέντρο νοσηλείας.
